Start your whiskey collection with these 10 bottles By Brad JapheBloomberg Bloomberg photo by Luke Sharrett A proper sherried malt is a beautiful thing to behold. Burgundy liquid brimming with the richness of over-ripened stone fruit, it balances aromatic intensity against structural nuance. While a seasoned whisky enthusiast might count one as the ultimate dram, savvy investors see it as an ideal asset. The Macallan 25 – a bottle exhibiting all of the aforementioned attributes – retailed for $900 in 2013. Today, you won’t find it for under $2,000. Rare whisky has outperformed every other luxury asset, including fine wine, soaring some 564% in the last decade, according to the Knight Frank 2020 Wealth Report. Rising demand from Asian investors has led to marquee auctions – and even cyberattacks – regarding bottles that were expected to top $2 million.
