Artist 10th Anniversary Full Collection
This collection of bottles will delight any collector of rare spirits. All have been specially bottled for the 10th anniversary of the Artist range.
As with many other alternative investments like gold, fine wine, and art, the value of whiskies and other bottled spirits largely stems from their limited supply combined with increasing demand.
The principle of “less is more” applies significantly to highly rated whiskey. The scarcer it is in the market, the higher its price tends to be.
The finest whiskies involve intricate, time-intensive production methods. Variations in the quality of ingredients and the expertise of the producer lead to notable differences in the quality and flavor of a whiskey, which ultimately influences its price. Appearing in the La Maison Du Whisky Artist 10th Anniversary collection Macallan 1990 30 year old 53,5% 700 ml, Bunnahabhain 2009 10 year old 67,1% 700 ml, or Benrinnes 2005 15 year old 55,9% 700 ml are examples of such bottles. In addition to these, it is also worth remembering Imperial 1995 aged 25 year old 57% 700 ml.
What else to look out for when investing in rare spirits?
Another crucial factor is the aging process. Generally, the older the whiskey, the higher its price, though this is not always the case. It is therefore worth looking more closely at bottles such as Kornog 2006 10 year old 59,5% or Kavalan 2010 10 year old 57,8% 700 ml. In addition to these, it is also worth remembering Pendryn 2010 10 year old 60,8% 700 ml 700 ml and Chichibu 2009 10 year old 56,5% 700 ml.
