RARE & COLLECTABLE WHISKY
Whisky has emerged as the ultimate luxury investment opportunity, outperforming other assets such as cars, watches, and real estate. Over the past decade, rare single malts have experienced a remarkable fourfold increase in value, surpassing the growth of cars (164 percent), wine (137 percent), and watches (108 percent).
With an impressive growth rate of 428 percent in the last ten years, rare whisky has proven to be the top-performing luxury investment. If you’re considering venturing into whisky collecting, there are a few essential factors to take into account before deciding to sell: bottle or cask, budget, time frame, and risk appetite. It’s crucial to weigh your options and determine whether you prefer to store, drink, or bottle your whisky investment.
The whisky market has expanded to meet the rising demand as whisky gains popularity and becomes the preferred drink for various occasions. According to business data provider Statista, global whisky revenue has witnessed significant growth, reaching US$86.7 billion in 2019, up from US$78.3 billion in 2012. Despite temporary setbacks in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and supply disruptions caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, the industry is projected to continue its upward trajectory, with revenue expected to reach US$105.7 billion by 2025.
Whisky’s cultural ubiquity and the potential for substantial returns make it an enticing investment opportunity. Whether you’re a whisky enthusiast or an investor seeking diversification, the world of rare whiskies holds great promise for those willing to embark on this journey.
Collectible spirits extend beyond rare whiskies, with Cognacs and Rums standing out as highly sought-after options. Their desirability stems from factors such as rarity, region-specific production, aging duration, and meticulous craftsmanship. Factors influencing the price increase of collectible Cognacs and Rums include brand reputation, age, rarity, quality, and bottle condition.
Older and rarer spirits generally command higher prices, with attributes like alcohol by volume (ABV) and bottling type playing a role. Well-preserved bottles with intact labels, seals, and packaging are preferred by collectors.
In recent years, rare rums have gained significant value as alternative assets, driven by their diverse styles, unique production methods, historical and cultural significance, and limited availability. Trends like the rise of rum cocktails, rum festivals, and a growing appreciation for rum’s heritage have contributed to this growth.
