Just noticed your post and have some answers for you. Sorry it’s a year late!

Flora and Fauna was started by one of the forerunners of Diageo. The range as concocted as a way of making a rel ...

Yes, I agree. High quality investment grade whisky will not be affected that much. It depends on how far this runs and if there is a global recession or not.

It all depends on how this develops. If ...

If you buy casks as an investment you will need to consider where you will sell all those bottles once the whisky has matured as you will have a lot of bottles to sell. You also have to look beyond th ...

PostForum: Single Malt Whisky   Posted: Sat Feb 01, 2020 8:22 pm   Subject: Undisclosed independent bottlings from closed distilleries
I don’t bother with undisclosed bottlings. I want to know what I’m getting before parting with my hard earned.

Just because it might give a region like Speyside, I can think of one o ...

I see eBay have removed the Folio 5 sales.

They’ll probably just go to auction anyway.

I entirely agree.

Unless you are buying the more premium Macallan, the rest isn't a patch on what was once released. Wonder what will happen now Suntory have a stake in Edrington?

Anyone who simply wants a great drinking whisky at a reasonable price has an absolute wealth of choice (eg Cadenhead's, Whiskybroker, Chorlton, Bartels and a dozen others).

But I don't believe th ...

As I've said before, 'flipping' doesn't just involve sellers and auctioneers.

Critically, it also involves buyers.

Buyers aren't forced to buy any particular bottle. They do so by choice.

I’m actually against the selling of bottles and boxes that are empty. That’s how the counterfeiters get them. And Macallan is regularly faked.

The eBay sales for Folio 5 are massivel ...

Of course, each to their own.

While MoM may not represent good value (I tend to agree) it does give you an opportunity to try something you don’t want to open. However if you are buying and ...

I'm not a drinker but love to collect whiskey. I have macallan no 1-4. Should I buy a lot of the macallan No 5? It's going for $150 by where I live.

I'm a drinker who tries to collect but I'm like ...
