The story of Scotch begins as early as the 15th century with the earliest documented record of distilling in Scotland occurring in 1494. Since then, Whisky has become a part of daily life in Scotland which is now home to over 130 distilleries, making it the greatest concentration of whisky production in the world.
Today, the Scotch industry is worth billions, with steady growth seen year over year. In the last two decades alone, a continual, uninterrupted rise in the price of Whisky has been witnessed, unblemished by crises or slowing economies resulting in the value of Whisky increasing by 582% since 2009. With Scotch now consumed all over the world, the popularity has boomed with Scotch remaining the most popular global whisky category in American, Japanese, Irish, and World whisky categories.
When looking at investment, Scotch whisky continues to grow rapidly in both auctions and secondary markets.
