What makes an Islay whisky genuinely rare?
When you see whiskies available at such high price points as the rarest Islay whiskies, it’s important to know just what makes it rare and how that contributes to its value. Products from “ghost distilleries” (distilleries that are no longer open) are always among the most valuable, as availability is finite and stock will not be replenished. Port Ellen, for example, closed in 1983, so its bottles are highly sought after. For Islay specifically, the geography and climate are unique for Scotch production. To get Islay flavours, there are only a select few distilleries you can purchase from.
How to start collecting Islay Scotch for investment
Starting an investment-focused whisky collection can be intimidating. Here are a few key tips for beginners:
-
Choose the right bottle: Rare or limited-edition bottles are the perfect way to start your collection. If you know that the specific Islay Scotch you choose won’t be reproduced, it’s often a good investment to buy into.
-
Plan your storage: You don’t want your expensive bottles lying about and at risk of damage or dilution. Store all bottles upright in a cool, dark area away from direct sunlight.
-
Think of an exit strategy: It may seem odd to consider an exit strategy before you’ve even bought your first bottle, but it’s important to know roughly how long you intend to hold your investment and consider relevant auctions where you can sell for a profit.
