We think single malt whiskey is primarily there to be enjoyed. Somehow it would be a shame if so much dedication, tradition and craftsmanship flow into the production of a noble malt - and the bottle then remains unopened.
But of course whiskey has long been not just a pleasure, but also a collector's item. And there the question is interesting, how the noble pieces develop in value and whether maybe the current, corona-related economic recession has a negative influence here?
There is an answer to this from the statistics experts at "Whiskystats". Their Whiskystats Whiskey Index regularly reviews the performance of the 500 most traded whiskeys.
Conclusion for the month of April: Whiskey retains its value. Even in the crisis, the most coveted bottles can go up slightly. Interesting: This time it is not Macallan that is the most traded whiskey, as is so often the case, but Ardbeg, followed by Bruichladdich!
