All these bottles are all new whiskeys from distillery. I collect old whiskeys anywhere from 1950 to 2000 that I find in flea markets , yard sales , and estate sales . I get them cheap ,because people just want to get rid of it , and it is against the law to sell alcohol with out license . I have an impressive collection for so little money.
Good video guys. I have some interesting bottles, including Hibiki 12, which have gone up in value since I bought them. Some of them are extremely desirable and unlikely to be repeated. I could sell them for a buck and I might do but I'm not going to get rich doing it. To be a real investor you have to buy in to that £200,000 club. I can't afford that and I'd rather not be that kind of person. Drink it, enjoy it and add some value to your life. You don't know what's coming around the corner.
Welsh Toro that’s incorrect. You don’t have to be part of that 200k club to see a decent profit. Where’s best to contact you? I’m a whisky broker so giving you sound advice would be my pleasure - and don’t worry I won’t try sell you anything!
The key word is "volume" and this makes it difficult for the average person. You may stumble over a some rare bottle which increases in value but to make real income you must increase in volume - and risk.
to all those of you who state "whisky is for drinking": Did you ever made the experience to purchase a bottle of whisky for the price of 9000 bucks and open it just like this and taste a dram? --- Well, I know, in your opinion no bottle should cost more than the 50 bucks that you have in your pocket. But if you say "whisky is for drinking" in the comment area of a public video portal, then you don't say it to yourself. You say it to the folks out there. Don't you think that everyone else should get the chance to find out by himself what to do with his whisky?
or you can just use it for the purpose it's made and drink it...this is why whisky prices have gone up in the last 10-15 years, people seeing whisky as an 'investment'. If you are an actual whiskey lover, ENJOY IT BY DRINKING IT!
Hibiki?? Definitely sit on it. Japanese malts are rare to find these days. Though I have few good bottles in my collection. Yamazaki and Hakushi are on my collection list too..
I found this interesting, but..... to be perfectly honest I couldn't afford the top stuff and if I got hold of a limited addition in future I think I would be tempted to hold onto it till the value increases. WAIT A MINUTE!! that' s rubbish holding onto a whisky would be like sitting a child in front of a big tub of ice cream, with loads of sprinkles on a hot day and saying "don't eat that while I'm out"
Absolutely, everything I own is for drinking. Secondary market flippers are ruining the hobby and joy for those of us who really want to drink the stuff, as it was intended.
It's my considered opinion that the distilleries themselves are hiking up their prices by drip feeding the market with limited releases far too regularly and thereby causing a frenzy among the flippers and the collectors who imbibe the product over time but like to stock up in advance as an insurance against being fleeced. From what I see some hoarders are running the risk of ruination, either through falling for the hype and getting caught when the bubble burst...or failing to insure against fire in the home...or failing to take precautions on guarenteeing their anonymity when posting pictures of their hoards online and thereby running the risk of being targeted by canny burglary gangs who are copping on to the assets in the cabinets....etc, etc. The crazy prices being paid at auction are will first pique the interest of the low life drug addicts who will start the ball rolling and it takes off from there...Mark my words!
@Richard Driskill Time will prove which of us is right. I think I have a few years over you and though I don't claim to have a monopoly on wisdom, I've been around long enough to smell manipulation in the market. There are a lot of 'Johnny come lately' fan boys blogging and costing up to the marketing departments of various spirit brand conglomerates who are willing to allow themselves to be manipulated for the rich returns they perceive which they get as trinkets in the post on a weekly basis in return for their influential 'positive'....independent favourable recommendations. The net and YT are full of these 'independent' influencers...who couldn't tell the difference between the test and aroma of a Dollar from a Euro, as it's all the same to them. These influencers think they are Master Tasters and may aspire to become very rich as the allow themselves to be played by the Brands, but they won't be the guys that get burned. Mark my words there is very little difference between the Property & Financial Investment Market and what is presently happening in the World Wide Whiskey Market....brace yourself for the crash! I buy to appreciate the spirit in the here and now, so I don't intend to get burned either, but there is a growing number of folks taking out an each way bet...one for sipping and one for investment, on the strength of what the influencers are pedelling on behalf of the latest entrants into the market. Sláinte my friend!
Nice channel! Found you because I have a friend with some old whiskey, and we were going to open it, but realized it might be worth something. Who can help us asses the value? Thanks, and cheers! 😃🥃
Hi Paul, a great resource for getting the value of whisky is www.wine-searcher.com/. If you click on 'market data' you can see how the price has changed over time. What's the whisky you have that you think might be valuable?
you should monitor more than just one source of information. Like Whiskybase, Whiskystats and whisky auction results. And afterwards draw your conclusion and make your mind up.
Can anyone recommend where or how I can subscribe to get news from distilleries about their special/ rare releases. I have visited alot of the big name distillery websites but the majority dont seem to let you subcribe for updates or even have a newsletter
Hi Cian, some of the distilleries do their own newsletter you can sign up to. Macallan, Highland Park and Redbreast all do them. But of course your best source for whisky news is us. ;) we do a weekly news video about what's happening in the world of whisky. We'll make sure you know when the new releases are coming out. Hot off the presses: Glasgow Distillery is just putting out a new limited release whisky and they have two more coming out this year. It'll be available online soon. -Evan.
Cian Maher if you’re interested in investing in casks I could help? I provide sound advice, and I’m not looking to push a sales on you. Let’s have a quick whisky chat 💭
I’ve got maybe two or three bottles that could be worth something one day. No doubt I’ll drink them all at some point though

I would definitely drink it and enjoy it with friends, who knows what might happen to me tomorrow may as well enjoy what I have today
Im just learning about whiskeys .. I can't believe i never knew about this... thanks for the info
I would drink the Hibiki 12 with friends :-)
Sounds like the perfect way to enjoy it. Thanks for tuning in Jason. Cheers, Ed
Friends that own bottles of hibiki 12!
Whisky is for drinking including Hibiki 12...
I do hope whoever wins it pops the cork and enjoys it
100% agreed. Can't stand people who get involved in whiskey just to flip it on the secondary.
@@BrolicWhiskey I concur.
@@BrolicWhiskey : what went wrong in your childhood that you have so much hate inside your head?
Definitely drink it
It is, ultimately, meant to be drunk and enjoyed
Love this, whiskyinvestdirect is great for long-term growth.
Hey can you tell me more about it I'm on the site but confused how to buy and sell
@@johnpistol2125 Sure. Well I personally purchased "Quick Buy Packages" because I don't know much about whisky. It's a great diversified package.
I would drink it but in 20 years when price will be 1500 GBP and it will be even more insane cause whisky for drinking shouldn't cost over 100 GBP.
Japanese whisky is a bubble. Wait a few years and let the price crash.
Why?
I would drink it with my Dad on Xmas Day
That sounds perfect, it would be ideal for Christmas. Best of luck. Cheers, Ed

Definitely will drink it 🥃
A most excellent plan - best of luck! Cheers, Ed
So just going to the store and buy a regular bottle of Glenlivet or Macallen is a bad idea?
or you can just use it for the purpose it's made and drink it...this is why whisky prices have gone up in the last 10-15 years, people seeing whisky as an 'investment'. If you are an actual whiskey lover, ENJOY IT BY DRINKING IT!
100%
Damn straight, it's people like us (drinkers) that are putting the price of whisky up
I would definitely not drink it! Sit on it for sure have a really good feeling about Suntory in the future.
You're not the only one! Have you done much whisky investment yourself?
Hibiki?? Definitely sit on it. Japanese malts are rare to find these days. Though I have few good bottles in my collection. Yamazaki and Hakushi are on my collection list too..
Hi fella! What literature or other sources would you recommend browsing thereby getting a better grasp of this business? Thanks
Liquid Gold by Ralph L. Warth
Thanks Mate. From NEPAL
I might start investing in bottles. Sit on them. If they tank, drink em.
Buying something you'd be happy to drink is always a great way to ensure you can't lose, no matter what happens.
Theres not a lot of books on the subject. Ive been looking. Maybe you should write one for me to buy??
Can jhonny walker g.o.t white walker be an investment???
Reaaally don't think so
I need that awesome whiskey..
It is a very enjoyable whisky. Thanks for watching! Ed

Спасибо - надо подумать.
I would have to taste it
I would save for my wedding day get drunk,sleep with the brides maid get a divorce haha
this is a great channel!
Thanks so much! Really glad you're enjoying it! Are you a big whisky fan?

DAMMMMMMMMMM! Bro this is sick !
I would sell it though
At those prices, it's tempting, isn't it!?

I will drink it in a special occasion , or some tuesday night..
Celebrate a special occasion, like the refrigerator working or the sun setting.
Gaze at it 😋
Dont invest ! Drink IT!!
