Invest in a golden future
For centuries, single malt Scotch whisky has stood for class, quality and craftsmanship. For the past couple of years, we can add a new feature: a serious investment opportunity.
Elevate your assets with liquid gold
Three reasons to invest in single malt
Growth driven by rarity, time and demand
In a volatile financial landscape, rare whisky stands out as a robust asset. Driven by the passage of time, increasing global demand, and the inherent scarcity of aged spirits, the value of rare single malt is less affected by the turbulence of traditional stock markets. While the broad market shows solid growth, Scotch Whisky Investments' specialised portfolios have realized an average historical return of 10.6% per annum (2018–2025).
Strategic diversification
True stability comes from low correlation. Adding Scottish single malt to your portfolio offers a sophisticated way to mitigate risk, as whisky values often move independently of traditional financial markets. It combines the tangible security of physical ownership with proven long-term value development. It is not just an alternative investment, it is a strategic anchor for a well-balanced portfolio.
An Investment in heritage
Investing in single malt is about more than just numbers, it is about owning a piece of history. Each cask and bottle represents centuries of craft, the unique terroir of Scotland, and a level of rarity that cannot be replicated. At Scotch Whisky Investments, we turn this passion for heritage into a professional, managed investment experience.

Gordon & MacPhail ARTISTRY IN OAK 1940
Distillery: Glenlivet
Bottler: Gordon & MacPhail
This 85-year-old whisky is the oldest single malt Scotch the world has ever seen, a historic monument bottled after more than eight decades of patience. The decanter was created in partnership with world-renowned architect Jeanne Gang and serves as a celebration of the profound artistry and care required to preserve such liquid heritage. Each decanter is a unique masterpiece that blurs the line between a high-end investment and museum-grade art.
Single cask number 336
Spirit from the Glenlivet Distillery was entrusted on 3 February 1940 to a specific, hand-selected American oak cask that had previously held mature sherry. Over 85 years, this cask has shaped the whisky into a robust and complex spirit, with the expertise of four generations of the Urquhart family ensuring the quality and strength remained remarkable at 43.7% ABV.
Region: Speyside
Place of origin: Ballindalloch
Speyside is the historic heartland of Scotch whisky production and home to the most refined single malts in the world. The Glenlivet Distillery was the pioneer that set the standard for this region, and this 85-year-old expression reflects the elegance and deep history of the Scottish terroir in its purest form.
Limited number of 125 decanters
This 85-year-old whisky is part of an exclusive range of exceptional quality, and it is exactly this exclusivity that holds a special appeal for collectors. Its immense prestige was recently proven when decanter #1 was auctioned by Christie’s New York, fetching a staggering $200,000. Every time one of these 125 decanters is opened, the rarity, and subsequently the value of your own bottle, increases.
Distillation date: 3 February 1940
Bottling date: 5 February 2025
Time is the most precious factor in the world of whisky investments, as a maturation of 85 years cannot be artificially accelerated or reproduced in any way. The interaction between wood and spirit over more than eight decades has resulted in an unparalleled depth of flavor and price, a value that only grows the longer the whisky remains sealed.
Q3 2025 update
The whisky market seems to regain its balance
The whisky market is currently in a phase of correction and reorientation. While the secondary market is showing signs of stabilization, the primary market remains under pressure with declining exports and reduced production. Interestingly, parallels are emerging with the 1980s, when scarcity laid the foundation for many of today’s most iconic bottlings. For investors, the key lies in selectivity and maintaining a long-term perspective. Scotch Whisky Investments analyzed the latest findings from the Noble & Co Whisky Intelligence Report (Q3 2025).
