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.

The Macallan distillery is one of the oldest and most renowned whiskey distilleries in Scotland. The history of the distillery goes back to 1824 with the foundation by Alexander Reid. 
 
The bottles and casks from the distillery are extremely popular among collectors and connoisseurs. For this reason, the products of the distillery regularly reach record prices at auctions. For example, a cask of the distillery from 1988 was sold in 2022 for almost $1.3 million. Further, a bottle of Macallan whisky from 1926 sold for just under $1.5 million in 2018.&nbsp; 
 
But American, Irish, and international whiskies are also showing up in significant collections with increasing frequency. According to Knight Frank's Wealth Report 2020, the value of rare whisky has increased 564% in the last decade. The global whisky market was valued at $61.7 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach $95.9 billion by 2026. Rare whisky is by far the top performer among luxury goods while not being directly tied to stock market conditions. While stocks can experience a sharp price correction, whisky generally always gains in value over time. However, this is not guaranteed with every bottle of whisky.

The price of €18,200 includes the Splint Invest platform fee and external maintenance costs of €2,350. €15,850 can be allocated to the bottle.
