We are delighted to publish our sixth Noble & Co Whisky Intelligence Report, in partnership with decision intelligence firm Brainnwave. In the report we review the performance of the fine and rare whisky at auction market. The key highlights are: - Volumes at auction are in decline, down by 11% in Q4 2023 vs Q4 2022 - This is mostly being seen in lower-priced bottles, with volumes of bottles selling for ￡100-￡1,000 down by 11.4% and ￡1,000 to ￡10,000 down by 9.4% - Average prices are rising but this is predominantly a mix shift due to the weakness at the lower-priced end of the market - Volume declines worsened through December and January, even accounting for seasonality.?Bottles selling between ￡100 and ￡200 were down by 20% in December 2023 vs December 2022, and 21% in January 2024 vs January 2023 - Most of the major brands have seen significant brand declines. The Macallan noted a very strong value in the quarter due to the sale of The Macallan Valerio Adami bottle - Our data shows that bottles that are “unsold” at auction are not increasing significantly in number overall. This implies sellers are being more careful in putting bottles to auction in a more fragile market - Overall, it is clear that the macro-economic climate is weighing on the auction market. If 2024 is a year of economic recovery, this may feed through to the auction market. - We now have 905,025 bottle sales in our dataset and over 20 million datapoints The full report can be downloaded for free here https://lnkd.in/e4dj6pjx Our thanks to all of those that partnered and assisted on the creation of this report.

We’re pleased to announce the release of our eighth Noble & Co Whisky Intelligence Report, developed in partnership with Brainnwave. This quarterly update provides a comprehensive analysis of the fine and rare whisky auction market. Our takeaways: - Auction Market Challenges: Total value and volumes fell by 50% over the period versus the same period last year, with declines across all price segments. - Shifting Buyer Behaviour: Bottles auctioned for under ￡1,000 now account for 51% of total value transacted, up from 43% last year. - Savvy Collectors: Bottles over 50 years old saw a significant increase in the volumes remaining unsold, reflecting collector caution and signs of them holding on until better times return. - Price Drops: Average bottle prices fell 19% year-on-year, with volume declines driving down market values. A large part of this is due to the shift to higher volumes at lower prices. - Market Resilience: Despite the downturn, Glenfarclas and Port Ellen showed positive growth, while The Macallan retained its dominant brand market share, albeit with a 34% decline in absolute value transacted. As we look ahead, we’re closely monitoring the macroeconomic environment to gauge the potential for market recovery.

Another great iteration of the Whisky Intelligence Report from Duncan McFadzean and Noble & Co. Broader macro issues have been impacting the secondary markets much like any other industry and the numbers are reflected in the latest performance across both volume (-35% vs. LY) and value (-36% vs. LY) of sales with #Speyside seeing the largest volume decline (-10%). That being said, the percentage of unsold bottles remained mostly the same despite these declines and as this report focuses mostly on the main, public auctions and sales data out of the U.K. and so it doesn't speak to the entire market and also can't capture a lot of the shadow market activity (FB Groups, private sales). The market still remains broadly healthy and will continue to reflect what the retail markets are seeing, we have a more conscious consumer - people are purchasing more deliberately and with a keener eye on quality, pricing, and prices. The team at BAXUS is working hard to bring as much transparency and pricing data as possible to the forefront of the drinks industry and the secondary market, in particular, watch this space. Looking forward to being a part of these reports in the future. #Drinksindustry #secondarymarket #whisky

Whisky Rarity Fuels Soaring Prices and Investor Interest The prized Scotch whisky industry is booming like never before, with collectors and investors clamouring to get their hands on increasingly scarce and valuable bottles. Rare whiskies have become a hot commodity, with prices at auctions skyrocketing in recent years. Just last year, a bottle of The Macallan 1926 60-Year-Old sought by collectors worldwide sold for a staggering ￡2.2 million at an auction in London, smashing the previous world record. Distilled in 1926 and aged for 60 years, only 40 bottles of this legendary single malt were ever produced. "Rare whiskies have become liquid gold for investors" said Colin Fraser, a whisky specialist at Sotheby's auction house. "The demand is being driven by the limited supply and by whisky drinkers in emerging markets who are willing to pay top prices." The whisky investment craze shows no signs of letting up, with the total value of rare bottles sold at auction in the UK jumping over 60% in just the last year alone according to industry experts. Bottles from lost or ghosted distilleries that closed decades ago are among the most coveted. For wealthy whisky aficionados and investors alike, it seems the quest for the perfect aged dram has become a obsession that money can't easily quench. The real spirit of Scotland's national drink may have finally met its match. ?#WhiskyInvestment #rarity #AgedWhisky #barrelaged #investment?

Auctioning Fine Whisky for Superior Returns Whisky auctions provide an avenue to acquire rare and premium bottles. They offer the ability to bid remotely online or submit pre-bids, with the highest bidder winning the lot. Auction whiskies are typically of exceptional quality and age, carefully authenticated and from respected distilleries. However, intense bidding can drive final prices well above the pre-auction estimates due to competition among collectors. While enabling access to elite expressions, the auction format also risks pricing out some prospective buyers. This is precisely why at Direct Whisky Co., we guide you through selecting the ideal whisky expressions for auctioning. Our expertise ensures you can acquire your preferred whiskies while maximizing the potential benefits of the auction process. We help you identify bottles that will pique collectors' interest, yet remain aligned with your taste preferences. With our insider knowledge, you can confidently pursue rarities that command top prices without compromising on the enjoyment you seek from your whisky collection. Our tailored approach balances investment prospects with drinkability, allowing you to extract optimal value from whisky auctions. ?#whiskyinvest #investments #caskinvestment #australia #whiskyinvestment #australianbusiness #investmentopportunity #austrlianinvestors?? #alternativeInvestments #investment #whisky #autraliainvestment #financialmarket #ukbusiness #WhiskyInvestment #WhiskyCask #rarewhisky #whiskyinvesting #UK #whiskyinvestments #casket #copilot #cask #UKinvestors #wine

Record-Breaking Scotch Whisky Art. Like EVERYTHING in Modern Art (that's what it is), it will inflate the prices of all it touches. The Macallan, the featured Artists, Auction Houses, the entire, other, Ultra Premium Scotch Whisky Market. Scotland still has rather a lot of 60 year Old Scotch Whisky, to be marketed, with other Super Premium 'Objet D'Art'. Cars, Clothes, Jewellery, Personalities, Places, Celebrations, Holidays, other decadent, 'lifestyle' 'things'. One Man created an entire Modern Art Industry for Andy Warhol, in only a few Cities, by increasing demand for what are, at the end of the day, just Screenprints. If the Scotch Industry collaborates, emulates The Macallan and works on the 'exclusivity' and 'heritage' angle TOGETHER, there are 145+ Distilleries with a constantly ageing and exclusive Stock, to work with. With Scotch, the unfathomably huge and fairly new, Asian Market will be the one Breaking records, in the race to the first $5 million Bottle. What will it be? If we're cohesive, the knock-on, for Scotch Whisky Tourism is absolutely immense. #ScotchWhiskyTruths

The market prices of premium whiskies are influenced by a variety of factors, many of which are similar to those affecting other collectibles and luxury goods. Here’s an overview of how prices are determined: 1. Rarity and Scarcity 2. Brand Reputation 3. Age and Condition 4. Provenance and Authenticity 5. Market Demand 6. Expert Appraisals As you can notice, we do not mention the auction prices, because they are often influenced by emotional pulses of the buyers and by a scarce visibility of the auction house websites. So we think the auction results aren't sources authoritative enough to consider them a definitive factor for pricing a bottle. Among the six points listed here, the most valuable "external factor" is the expert appraisals one: a whisky expert or, even better, a whisky expert team of a solidly established company specialized in premium whiskiy bottles investment, are a warranty when deciding to buy or sell your own collections. Contact The Spirits Club to know how to add some of the rarest and sought-after bottles to your collection, and assure a year-to-year two-digits profit.

Investment Spotlight - Champagne Salon et Champagne Delamotte The Cask100 Fund has focused on champagne in its initial allocations since March of this year. We have seen a 31% increase thus far with champagne, both because of buying power as well as increases at auction, validating our efforts within the Champagne region. Salon Le Mesnil is defined as a singular and unique champagne coming from a single terroir in the Cote des Blancs, a single cru from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, a single grape variety of Chardonnay, a single vintage, only from the top vintages and from a single man who founded in the 1920s, Eugene Aime Salon. In fact, the 'S' on the label signifies this focus of singularity. ?? Only 37 vintages have been produced in over a century with an average of 4 vintages per decade ?? Salon was the first Blanc de Blancs ever created ?? Each vintage is aged for at least 10 years before being released ?? During the 1920s Salon was the house pour at the famous Maxims in Paris ?? The president of Laurent Perrier, who eventually purchased Salon, was one of the Allied soldiers to reach Hitlers Eagle Nest which apparently had a cache of 1928 Salon, which he fell in love with and vowed to purchase the house if it ever came up for sale The Cask100 Fund acquired a multi-case lot of Salon 1996 (scores from 97-99 points and another 20 years of peak drinking) in the second quarter of 2024. At the time auction prices ranged from $1,095 per bottle to roughly $1,400 per bottle. In the third quarter we have seen a definite uptick with prices ranging from $1,250 to $1,935 per bottle. This is also a strong increase from the average value of $730 in 2019. We will continue to focus on wines like Salon and other grower champagne with low production and high quality and demand in the marketplace.
