There are many newspapers of national and international importance that talk about the investment in collectible spirits, defining it, on several occasions, as the most performing alternative investment of the last decade and, the same trend, is also expected for the coming years. Investment in whiskey is a hot topic among investors and financial reporters.
Defined by the Financial Times as the best investment even compared to physical gold, the important results of fine whisky sales have not failed to be noticed.
Just to mention a few examples, in 2019 a bottle of Macallan Fine & Rare 60-year-old 1926 set its sales record with a quotation of about 1 million and 700 thousand euros; instead, in November 2018, another bottle from the same barrel was sold at the price of 1 million and 352 thousand euros.
Still, a beautiful glass bottle hand-blown by a Scottish glass artist of Bowmore 54 year old 42.1 ABV 1957, depicting an onda breaking on the island of Islay – the number 1 of only 12 bottles produced – was sold for the value of 420 thousand euros.
We could therefore safely say that inside a bottle of fine spirit can be the value of a real estate investment and beyond. The ancient origin of the prestigious distilleries and their very strong positioning in the market, make the bottles of whisky and rum, real collector’s trophies, and that is why the investment in whisky is an investment that knows no market crisis, even where the economy the rare whisky is the safe haven par excellence, as defined by many financial magazines.

Certainly, alternative investments are investments that are chosen by investors who do not like the thrill and at the same time the risk of seeing at the mercy of the markets the sum they have invested and, many times, subject to significant decreases in value.
Obviously, depending on the investment you choose, there are differences in profit, length of investment and liquidation period.
There are alternative investments that aredefinitely more profitable than others.
This is the case of investing in collectible spirits bottles.
Their performance has been clearly highlighted on numerous occasions by the authoritative Knight Frank Luxury, as the highest ever compared to other alternative investments.
Not only that, the intrinsic and innate characteristic as a safe haven, allows investment in fine spirits to also be an excellent shield against inflation.
Among the most important reasons that make the investment in fine spirits so efficient there are certainly the strong market positioning of the historic producing distilleries, as well as the very scarce offer of the product worldwide.
Between Scotch and Japanese whisky, bourbon, rum and cognac in fact, the producing distilleries boast decades, if not centuries of production, giving life to spirits that also boast centenary aging and with dizzying figures able to envy the latest cutting-edge real estate investment.
The offer of bottles of fine spirits is in fact unable to satisfy the entire global demand, considering the very low production of quests and collections, which can sometimes consist of a maximum number of only 200 pieces and it is thanks to this great scarcity of their production and therefore of their presence in the market, that these bottles become real iconic collector’s items.
It is no coincidence, in fact, that the great giants of the market continue to invest in the creation of new distilleries, to offer greater production with the intention of grabbing an important slice of the market.

If you look back, you can clearly see that the profits on investment in fine whisky recorded in the last decade were 582% and the same trend is expected for the next decade, if not to a greater extent.
An overwhelming performance that has not given up even in the face of two years of pandemic that have bitterly wiped-out equity and non-equity portfolios.
Differentiating your portfolio and having a mindset accustomed to differentiating between multiple assets is dogma today, but the most important aspect that can protect an investor attentive to his finances is to position himself in a safe market corner and not subject to too many factors often dictated to favor or not economies.
