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 398% 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 valued at 88.1 billion U.S. dollars in 2023 and is expected to reach 108 billion dollars by 2027.

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.

20201 The Macallan M Black - 2017

We have rated the upside potential of this investment opportunity as high. According to a Knight Frank report, Rare Whisky has increased by over 564% during the last decade. This is an average increase for Rare Whisky, and many reasons indicate that „Macallan M Black 2017“ is indeed an above average release.

Return

We have rated the stability of this investment opportunity as medium. It is important to remember that even though Rare Whisky has been on the rise, this does not automatically protect every single bottle from fluctuating. Prices fetched by individual bottles can vary even though the general trend is very positive. Whisky cannot traditionally “go bust” as it’s not a corporate entity. As a result, we believe this opportunity has a very attractive risk to reward ratio.

Stability

"The Macallan M Black 2017" is the first vintage of the "M Black" series and limited to 725 bottles.

The Macallan M Black 2017 - Bottle No. 294

We have rated the track record of this investment opportunity as medium. On one hand, investing in whisky bottles is something that has been done for a very long time. On the other hand, the Macallan brand is known for sustained appreciation, especially with special releases like this one. The first 5 of the 10 most expensive whisky bottles ever traded come from Macallan.

Track Record

This is a concrete investment opportunity in which we have recalculated the expected performance given by the external expert and have thus checked whether a positive return can be expected after deducting all costs. Furthermore, we have verified the existence, proper storage and insurance of the bottle.
