Welcome to the
Whisky Cask Club

Alexander Knight is a native Londoner with Scottish roots who has called Singapore home for more than 18 years. As the founder and CEO of Whisky Cask Club, Alex has built one of Asia’s leading platforms for whisky cask investment, helping collectors and investors worldwide access rare Scottish casks.
 

With a background in journalism and finance, Alexander began his career in London with Thomson Reuters, News International, and Argus Media. His understanding of markets, storytelling, and global trade shaped his approach to the whisky business — one built on integrity, education, and expertise.
 

A graduate of The Whisky Ambassador Programme, Alexander combines professional insight with a genuine passion for Scotch whisky. Under his leadership, Whisky Cask Club has expanded into Hong Kong, Bangkok, Melbourne, and Dubai, offering clients transparent access to fully insured, professionally managed whisky casks from Scotland’s finest distilleries.  Alex also created the Whisky Cask Fund, Singapore’s first MAS-listed whisky investment fund.
 

Beyond his work, Alexander is a writer, whisky educator, and father of three. He believes whisky tells a story — one of patience, craftsmanship, and connection — and he’s dedicated to creating a global community of whisky lovers and investors who value both the legacy and opportunity that each cask represents.

Born in Chicago and calling Singapore home since January 2009, Christopher Brankin has spent more than 25 years building businesses, leading teams, and shaping the customer experience across the global financial landscape.

As the Founding CEO of TD Ameritrade Asia and Capital Com Singapore, he led both firms through major phases of growth and innovation, bringing accessible investment platforms and trusted service to new audiences across the region. Known for his dynamic leadership and hands-on approach, Chris has built a reputation for turning ambitious ideas into successful, sustainable ventures.
 

Since 2024, he has been focused on expanding the Whisky Cask Club (WCC) sales team, blending his entrepreneurial drive with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, heritage, and alternative investment value. His ability to connect people to unique opportunities has helped shape WCC’s identity as a modern, transparent gateway into the world of whisky investment.
 

A familiar face in the financial media, Chris has appeared on major networks such as CNBC, Bloomberg, BBC, CNA, The Edge, Reuters, and The Straits Times, sharing insights on markets, investment trends, and the evolving investor mindset across Asia.
 

Outside of work, Chris's weekends are full. A golf fanatic, he’s often out on the course at Laguna National Country Club, chasing the perfect round. When he’s not on the fairway, he’s on the rugby pitch coaching youth teams and passing on his love for teamwork, discipline, and sport to the next generation. Away from the field, he enjoys time with his lovely wife and teenage daughter, who keep his free time happily occupied and his life balanced between family, sport, and business.

With 28 years in the futures and options markets, he started in London’s trading pits, advancing through Singapore, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, building businesses and leading diverse teams. As CEO of Singapore Equities, he played key roles in regulation and management, served on various committees, and fostered strong relationships across Asian exchanges.
