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.

18-year-old Sherry Cask Whisky from Macallan has received many awards: It received gold at the International Spirits Challenge and silver at the International Wine &amp; Spirit Competition. 
 
The sophisticated maturation in oak casks distinguishes the Macallan whiskies. The Speyside distillery sets the highest standards when it comes to using Spanish sherry casks. The oak casks are carefully prepared in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. The oak used for the barrels comes from America as well as Europe. The barrels are filled with sherry for several months or years before they can be used for whisky maturation. The relationships with the producers in Jerez de la Frontera as well as the high-quality standards are a guarantee for the continuing hype.

The price of €21,050 includes the Splint Invest platform fee and external maintenance costs of €2,550. €18,500 can be allocated to the bottles.

The Macallan, 18 Yrs Sherry Cask, 2017

The Macallan distillery was founded in 1824 and can thus look back on almost 200 years of history. 
 
High-quality sherry casks are in short supply. Macallan is known for sourcing genuine sherry casks directly from Jerez. Therefore, Macallan's 18-year-old sherry casks whisky is considered extremely high quality and the supply will not exceed the demand by far in the future.
