We are Canada, we are open. As a country we're pretty hard to sum up. And not just because we're really, really big, but because we're home to so many different people with so many different stories. From the Indigenous Peoples who have stewarded this land for millennia to the newcomers we welcome every day, Canada is home to countless different backgrounds, cultures, identities, traditions and languages. From our wide open spaces, to welcoming visitors with open hearts, to open minds that embrace new ideas and perspectives, our openness permeates everything we do. We open our hearts to all who come with an open mind, to those who want deeper, more meaningful travel experiences.
In Canada, we see tourism as a way to connect with one another. With nature. With ourselves. Because when we're at our most open, we're at our best.

At Cartwright Jenson Group, we are serious about creating wealth, and safeguarding our clients’ assets. We’ve seen the markets change greatly over the years, and it's become more important than ever to have an agile and openminded approach to taking care of your finances.
We specialise in working with tangible assets - such as whisky - that rely on the simple laws of supply and demand. Whisky is a naturally appreciating asset, and seen as one of the most stable assets you can add to your portfolio. It can also be insured against losses, giving additional protection and confidence to buyers.
As an asset acquisition consultancy, we work with you to create strategies for the future. We work with integrity and honesty, and are committed to creating valuable portfolios for clients, inspiring our employees, and supporting our local communities.
Cartwright Jenson Group offers real-time market valuations of your existing collection based on a number of factors such as market data, the demand for casks, brand supply, age and condition. The price of a collection is largely reliant on having the correct documentation. However, we have been able to support our clients in the event that they have been miss-sold, due to our robust relationships with key players in the market who are able to assist in these instances.
If you are keen to sell your existing cask collection and have had your stock assessed by our valuations team, we will be able to offer an exit strategy either by acquiring assets ourselves for resale, or by providing an alternative option through our trusted and carefully cultivated network of wholesalers and collectors.
Scotch whisky has grown in popularity over the years. Whisky has frequently shown exceptional price growth, outperforming many traditional assets such as stocks and bonds. Rarity and limited availability from premium manufacturers and small-scale producers contribute to its appeal, making them highly sought after by collectors. Global demand for whisky, especially in emerging markets such as China and India, has further fuelled its market growth.

Every wine lover knows the problem: you open a bottle for one glass, and the rest doesn't taste the same the following days. Every year approximately 624 million bottles of wine are poured down the drain.That's where ETO comes in — an elegant wine decanter that doesn't just look good on the table, but preserves wine's flavour for up to two weeks.
The patented design expertly seals wine from the air, halting the oxidation process. No gases or pumps, just simple, clever design. There are wine decanters and there are preservation systems but not one that does both, beautifully. Scientists tested it. Masters of Wine confirmed it, proving that wine preserved in ETO maintains its original quality. With ETO, you can enjoy wines at your own pace, embracing quality over quantity without fear of waste. Whether you're pairing different wines with your favourite meals, enjoying different wine styles to your partner or just wanting to savour a bottle over a few weeks; with ETO you can enjoy every moment and drink the wine you want, when you want.
