Decanter recommends a selection of whiskies that are ideal for anyone looking to invest
The concept of
investing in whiskyis relatively new, although the trade in old and rare bottles has been around for decades. What began as a niche for enthusiasts has evolved into a world of investment funds, consultants and indices charting the evolution of auction prices.
There are many motivations behind buying whisky for investment purposes, from ‘flippers’ looking to sell on for a short-term profit, to whisky lovers out to fund their next purchases, to those with the patience and capital to target a longer-term profit.
