Fah Mai Holdings Group Inc (OTC:FMHG) UK head and manager of @whiskybullauctions, Jacob Carter, speaks with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the benefits of investing in high-end bottles.
Carter explains that these offer excellent long-term investment opportunities with low correlation to traditional markets. Despite the high prices, factors such as age, scarcity, and heritage contribute to their value.
Carter shares examples of significant value appreciation, highlighting the 1961 Bowmore 50-year-old and the 1940 Macallan Lalique 72-year-old, which saw increases of 48% and 40%, respectively, over a short period. He also mentions the Macallan Folio series and the Old Rip Van Winkle 25-year-old, showcasing the potential for substantial returns on investment.
Emphasising the importance of research and careful selection, Carter notes that Fah Mai Holdings assists collectors with evaluations and market insights. With a seller’s market in place, Carter assures that high-end bottles continue to perform well at auctions, making them a worthwhile investment.
