Collection
Fundamentals to bear in mind when picking an investment-grade whisky:
The first is Rarity – miniscule supply of limited runs will ensure asking prices stay high
Secondly collectability – whisky houses such as Macallan, Highland Park, Balvenie, Dalmore, Ardbeg have achieved almost cult like status amongst collectors.
Thirdly there are the Collections – some of the best distilleries will release a series of special editions (range), across the years, which form a collection. If you own each bottle in the series, the value of your haul can go up exponentially.
