Some Forget Bricks and Mortar and Invest in Scotch-

Rare Whiskies Values Soaring

Well I’m never going to get rich from hoarding my meagre supplies of fine Scotch, but some investors are paying top dollar for rare examples of the fine amber drink. The most the most expensive bottle sold in 2017 was a 62-year-old Dalmore, which went for £95,000. A Macallan sold for £65,000 and a Bowmore for £61,000 as nearly 90,000 bottles of whisky were auctioned in the year a huge rise from the previous year or some 43%. The average price for auctioned whisky has gone to a few pennies under £300 a bottle. That all adds up to a market valued at over £25 million.

Demand Outstrips Supply

Even though the kind of returns made by fine whisky, 27%  a year,  are much better than those made by more conventional forms of investment they are not for the faint hearted or shallow pocketed. They are driven by Asian investors who the headlines tell us are the most fickle of all and driven by sentiment not the hard head. The number of bottles on the open market has risen but demand is still outstripping supply for the rarest and finest whiskies.

Value and Quality

Even if you have a taste for fine whisky you’ll be pleased to see some special offers on some special glassware and lovely tumblers. Here at James Pirie we take the water of life extremely seriously and want you to enjoy it to the max. So have a peek at these fine examples and save a few bob to put away to put away for one of those rare bottles. Ah well perhaps it’s only a dream, happy dreaming I say!
