Smart money investing in whisky

The smart investment recommended to you by Scotch Whisky Investments enriches your investment portfolio and has equally satisfactory returns. For this reason, it can rightly be called a smart investment. But what kind of investment are we talking about? You may not quite see it coming, but we are talking about investing in whisky. Scottish single malt whisky in particular has attracted a new audience in recent decades. Serious investors are now running away with the drink, which has stood for class, quality and craftsmanship for centuries. And that only benefits the value of whisky.

The benefits of investing in whisky

A reason why investing in whisky is of interest to some investors is the rising demand and continued scarcity, combined with whisky's low correlation with other financial markets. Whisky prices have historically fluctuated less than the prices of many other investment options, although that is no guarantee for the future. According to research by Whiskystats, Scotch single malt whisky has shown a significant historical increase in value over recent decades. Individuals can still buy young whisky for a few tens, but whisky at least 25 years old in particular is worth a lot of money and has historically shown a strong increase in price.

So time plays an important role in this investment. Whisky aged at least 25 years obviously cannot be made any faster than in 25 years, so the product remains scarce and limited in availability. This makes Scotch single malt whisky an option worth considering for your investment portfolio, partly because of its low correlation with other asset classes. That can contribute to spreading your investment risk, although diversification is never a guarantee against loss.

Scotch Whisky Investments

Scotch Whisky Investments has been involved in investing in whisky for almost two decades and, as an international organisation, we now have a great deal of expertise in this field. In addition, we are equipped with a good purchasing position with Scotch distilleries and a keen eye for the future. All this ensures that we can help you build returns and assets in a careful way, without having to worry about it yourself. We expect demand for Scotch single malt whisky to continue, although a rise in value is never guaranteed. This investment carries risk class 6 on a scale of 1 to 7 (AFM risk indicator): whisky is illiquid, requires a long investment horizon and involves costs.

Good to know is that Scotch Whisky Investments' head office is in Sassenheim and that we also use a bonded warehouse in Scotland. Here we store and manage our whisky casks and are responsible for the entire process from raw material to finished product. We deal exclusively in rare casks and bottles of whisky, thus supporting investors to create stability in their investment portfolio. There are several ways to invest smart money using Scotch Whisky Investments, We cannot offer a guaranteed return: whisky is an illiquid investment with risk class 6 of 7, and a return is never certain. Curious to know what those options might be? You can check that out here.
