I think Whisky Invest Direct was mentioned above. Good idea I suppose if you're looking at by the cask purchase. Personally I felt the Grain wasn't worth it as the £0.15 LPA charge strips most of the profit for the first couple of years. Single malts would be a better bet although I haven't invested with yet as I haven't seen single malts I would personally see as being a decent value proposition. I had meant to see if any are used in famous brands like JW Black label or Chivas Regal given that's what the brokerage is meant service.-1

If you're looking for investment Whiskies Rare Whisky 101 produce a number of indices on their website they claim are based on 10 years worth of data from 675,143 bottles of Single Malt Scotch covering 59,792 different bottlings. I can't vouch for the veracity or objectivity of the data (they are a whisky valuations and brokerage company ) but they have some interesting data including the most heavily traded (collectors index) and bet investments (investors index).0

I got the impression that the BBC were rather more keen on having an "Impressive" story so glossed over something perhaps rather important, that the dad effectively got lucky by buying a band that had become quite trendy. So I'd imagine that it really is a gamble, you have to pick the right brand to do as well as this guy. And I doubt anyone is going to know which brand will suddenly become popular in 20+ years time."I don't mind if a chap talks rot. But I really must draw the line at utter rot." - PG Wodehouse0 -
Would never be able to stop myself from "just having a taste" to see what it was like...probably make a change from Bushmills!
