I have the first two, long term investments for me, not too worried about the short term. @Mark what do you think of the Bowmore Aston Martin masters collection for long term investment?
Mark, Titanic distillery in Belfast are selling casks for £8000 for investments. Do you think this would be a good investment for around 5 or 6 years? I don’t know much about the industry for investing but I'm very interested. Thanks, Roy.
Seen the Ardbeg before this video and I was wowed but then upon seeing this video I become more convinced of potential upside. I managed to get this for £585 from royal mile whiskies using a 10% off code for first time customers. I am delighted to add this absolute beauty to my collection. My first Ardbeg.
It's a pity that there is nothing from GLENFARCLAS in this episode, this time as you have already presented several bottles, Mark. What comparison would you use for this distillery to describe it as a watch manufacturer? Greetings from the WHISKY UPDATE channel
Like your IWC comparison Mark. I don't own any MaCallan, but do have x1 limited edition Dalmore in my collection. I may also have a Portofino on my wrist!!!
Whew! I was waiting for 2 months for the new upload! Finally! It was like a premiere episode for me. Haha! Solid points, can’t wait for the following episode related to this. And yes I agree, the whisky market is a bit crazy now, I don’t know if it’s a good time to collect for an investment or just like me, enjoy collecting and seeing it on my shelves, but I’m still hoping that someday it’ll have a worth of good amount of money. Now all the distilleries are into “limited edition.” Then release another year a new batch or series of “limited edition.” haha! Where will it go back to the time where the age is one that matters?
Hi Mark, really appreciate your videos. Have you looked at the craft irish whiskey co? Their first release of the Donn (the first reasonable price bracket from their other releases - they have the record for highest price for a whiskey ever sold) is quietly available for pre-public release for people who signed up to receive info on it. £215 - stunning bottle, blended whisky with a few awards (still very high price for a no age statement, but suppose they're targeting the ultra premium market from the outset). A box they designed for it did win a design award, but a shame they haven't included the box (they said this was to keep the price down), when compared to the likes of midleton very rare (bring back the wooden box!). In house designer worked for quite a few main brands before joining them. I've taken a punt given what they've sold previously and that this is the only one i can afford! Curious on your thoughts.
Please please please stop encouraging these distilleries calling themselves “luxury brands” in creating whisky for collecting and their arbitrary investment portfolio pricing of what is very ordinary whisky. They are not old or rare and the fact they come in a box is no justification for the outrageous price. It’s not an investment vehicle, it’s a drink and you can buy tastier 18 year old whisky for 1/3 of the price.
"Macallan as Rolex" This youtuber is probably the guru of all flippers. Somehow, I feel any whisky drinker would know more about the product than this youtuber.
@@efuchsman I mean if you are into pyramid schemes yes. It all hinges on the fact that someone else will take your debt for you. That is not exactly investment but you do you.
No review of last years performance!
It's on a separate video 👍👍 will be along in a few weeks. It covers the first videos bottles too 👍👍
@@MarkLittlerwould like to hear your thought on the Ian hunter book set

Picked up the Ardbeg for £515 total with delivery and costs on auction. Happy with that result
Just ordered the Macallan 18yo Sherry Oak 2024, after ordering the 2023 and 2022 on your recommendation. Cheers!

Good Luck, Mark ! ... after 30+ years of dramming over 1,000+ bottles, the Investment bus can go on without me. I open all mine.
The latest Springbank 30 (bourbon cask) tastes superb. Great provenance, incredibly low run and a decent price for a 30yo whisky.....
thoughts on bowmore timeless ? also the Aston Martin 22/23 releases
What about the harpy’s tale and the new unicorn tale. Are they worth collecting?

Their “record” is a joke
@@may17guy agree, but this release seems to be garnering quite a few awards.
Just ordered my Ardbeg today
@@scottdavis3245 Me too!
Bought a few bottles from you, but then the emails just stopped! Very strange……😮

You could,nt be more right. But thats a thing that only real whisky lovers "people who actualy drink the stuff" knows.

Whisky is not an investment. Please stop doing this.
It absolutely is
