There are many reasons why investors should consider rare bottles of whisky as one of the best alternative investment opportunities. Rare whisky has been by far the top performer among luxury goods for some time. Its value has risen over 428% in the last decade and is not directly tied to stock market conditions. So while equities could experience significant price corrections, whisky would steadily increase in value over time. 
&nbsp;

Key factors for whisky as an investment:

Reputation 
We only invest in whisky of the highest quality that is perceived as such by the trade and the public. It is advisable to buy aged whisky from well-known and established distilleries, or at least from those with promising growth prospects in the coming years. 
&nbsp;

Supply and demand 
The value of whisky, like much else, is subject to the fundamental law of supply and demand. In the world of investing, this means that it is strategically important to look for bottles for which there will continue to be high demand in the future and for which supply will remain limited. The price paid for a fine bottle of whisky can be quite high, regardless of availability. However, it looks even more exclusive when only a few bottles are still available worldwide. 
 
On the demand side, the global whisky market was estimated at USD 79.6&nbsp;billion in 2022&nbsp;and is expected to reach USD 109&nbsp;billion by 2026. 
&nbsp;

Special Release 
Special releases offer the greatest assurance that your whisky is unique. Examples could include bottlings of a new product or limited editions associated with specific events. This creates a guarantee that there will be no replenishment for future bottlings, adding to the "sentimental value" that many whisky lovers are happy to pay for. 
 
Paying for the brand is part of consumption and applies equally to whisky. Awards and reputation of the distilleries in question are the decisive selection criteria for us. Buying a bottle of whisky that has won well-known awards can further increase the investment potential.

We present the most extraordinary whisky collection: The Macallan Six Pillars in Lalique collection. The set of six stunning crystal decanters contains six rare single malts from The Macallan, aged between 50 and 65 years. 
 
The Macallan collaborated with French master crystal maker Lalique between 2005 and 2016 to release this unique and limited edition Six Pillars collection. Each bottle represents a pillar of the core values of the renowned distillery The Macallan. 
 
We acquired a complete collection and will release it as an investment in five individual releases. The five investment opportunities have the same investment horizon, as it is highly likely that the collection will also be sold in its entirety rather than individually.

The first bottle, or pillar, was launched in 2005 and contains a 50-year-old whisky. Limited to 470 bottles, the first column celebrates the outstanding oak casks used by The Macallan to mature their whiskies. It is said that 60 to 80% of the so-called whisky profile comes from wood, which underlines the relevance. The Macallan is known for arguably the best cask management program. They already control the production of the casks, starting with the selection of the trees in the north of Spain, which are then processed. They also control the filling of the casks with sherry before they are used for the maturation of the whisky. The design of the crystal decanter is correspondingly reminiscent of the wooden structure. 
 
The second pillar was released in 2007. The edition of 420 bottles is 50 bottles lower than the first column, and the whisky is five years older at 55 years. This edition represents the natural color of The Macallan whiskies. The distillery refrains from adding any color during production, and the liquid, therefore, always shows the color that was given off by the oak casks. The closure of the unique crystal bottle is a copy of Lalique's most famous perfume bottle. The amber color reflects the color of the Macallan whisky and is considered one of the most challenging colors to produce in glass production.

The price of €315,900 includes the Splint Invest platform fee and external maintenance costs of €40,000. €275,900 can be allocated to the bottles.

30201 The Macallan Six Pillars Collection 1

The Macallan Index has shown an annualized performance of 17% since its launch. Our 50 and 55-year-old whisky bottles from the Macallan Six Pillar Lalique collection exceed this mark by over 3.5% per year. 
 
A complete Six Pillars collection was sold by Sotheby's in 2017 for the equivalent of just under USD 1 million (excluding fees).

Return

While the SMI declined by -12% from January 2022 to the end of December 2022, the Rare Whisky 101 Macallan bottle index increased by 17%. 
 
This timeless collection can also be subject to fluctuations in value. As the bottles are extremely limited (470 and 420 bottles, respectively), negative value fluctuations tend to be temporary.
