Four investors explain on film why they invest in Scotch whisky.
“Scotch Whisky Investments explained to me that there are emerging markets asking for old whiskies, which drives the value up – I believe in that.”
“I invest in shares as well, but I connect far more with this product – the craftsmanship too. There is a much greater sense of involvement.”
“The whisky is in the vault, it is my property. It is good to have something tangible underneath your portfolio – unlike shares.”
“The longer you hold the product, the scarcer it becomes.”
