Investing in Scotch is one of the best alternative investments that can help you realize capital gains and diversify your portfolio. Today, the Scotch industry is worth billions, with steady growth seen year over year. In the last two decades alone, there has been a continual, uninterrupted rise in the price of Whisky, unblemished by crises or slowing economies. As a result, the value of Whisky has increased 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.

The value of Scotch whisky continues to grow rapidly in both auctions and secondary markets. In 2019, a rare bottle of Whisky sold for $1.9 million in 2019 exploding records, making the Macallan Fine and Rare 60-Year-Old 1926 the most expensive bottle of wine or spirit ever auctioned. When compared to the $US558,000 record for the most expensive wine bottle, one can clearly see Whisky’s appeal as a drink and alternative investment.
