As with anything else, whisky is about supply and demand. Those whiskies currently fetching the highest prices are naturally those that are in shortest supply. Obviously a 1974 Ardbeg is more expensive than a 10 year old Ardbeg because it cannot simply be continually reproduced in the way that the 10 year old expression can. Although currently expensive, there is little doubt that rare whiskies will become a good deal more expensive over the coming months and years as they become sought after by the better-informed and increasingly affluent malt lover abroad. For those considering buying whisky as an investment, here are some hints for good short, medium and long-term investments:

Withdrawn Bottlings

Look for bottlings that were quickly withdrawn from sale, e.g. Cardhu Pure Malt or Compass Box’s Spice Tree, or which have since moved exclusively to foreign markets, e.g. Glen Ord 12 year old.

Silent Distilleries

Look for distilleries that have since been demolished but whose whisky is generally very highly regarded, e.g. Port Ellen, Rosebank, and Brora. Even whiskies from poor but silent distilleries are worth considerable amounts of money, e.g. Ladyburn.
