The Macallan, 18 Yrs Double Cask, 2022
Main reasons to invest
The Double Cask series was only launched two years ago and still has plenty of upside potential.
Since the first release two years ago, prices have increased nearly 19% annually.
The 2022 bottling is also limited and sold out quickly. We have secured 192 bottles.
Description
Macallan has a broad portfolio ranging from high-value consumer products to extremely rare and luxurious bottles worth millions. The Macallan Double Cask Series falls more into the former category, and it is in this that one of its strengths lies.
Macallan Double Cask is a union of the "new" and the "traditional" Macallan. In the past, the dogma has been to use European oak sherry casks in production, but with Double Cask, both European and American oak sherry casks are used. According to Macallan itself, this is the future.
The range consists of a Double Cask Gold (the cheapest in the range), a 12 YO, a 15 YO, an 18 YO, and a 30 YO, launched in autumn 2022.
The Double Cask series is made as a limited edition series, starting with a release in 2020. The release you can invest in here is the 2022 release, which is well on its way out of the market and is already extremely hard to come by in quantities. This also means that when there is no more 18 YO 2022 release, there is no more and there will be no more.
No one knows how many releases there will end up being. But one thing is certain: Historically, complete collections have been extremely attractive and have earned big prizes, and these only get easier to collect the sooner you join. But whether you go with the ambition of collecting a full vertical, or simply want to enjoy the good potential of the single release, Double Cask 18 YO is an attractive investment case. Indeed, high end single malt whisky in this price range has an extremely large audience, and at this price few are thinking of saving - making Double Cask 18 YO 2022 Release an undiscovered gem for investment purposes.
