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.

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&nbsp;Release an undiscovered gem for investment purposes.

The price of €45,850 includes the Splint Invest platform fee and external maintenance costs of €5,500. €40,350 can be allocated to the bottles. 
Platform Fee Splint Invest: Compensation for the tokenization of the assets, the maintenance as well as the further development of the application and the costs related to the research and maintenance of the expert network. 
External maintenance costs: Shipping, handling, 6 years storage, and insurance.
