Monthly newsletter for September 2022

Dear All,

With persistent inflation and markets gyrating globally, investors continue to rush into real assets and collectibles, which puts us in very good stead over the next 12 to 18 months with increased demand in the category. The interest lies in high age statements, with the well known brands leading the charge.

This month our portfolio saw an uptick of +0.7%, mainly driven by Macallan Fine and Rare 1990 jumping 21% to £11,500  and Hanyu 2000 Ichiro’s Malt / Four of Spades climbing more than 50% to £9,700. 

For those that may be interested, Sotheby’s is releasing one of the highest value private collections to date, with a pre-sale estimate of $2.1M. We’ll be watching this closely to monitor how the market reacts to this collection. For those that are looking to build a collection for drinking, Yamazaki continues to build on its brand reputation with the launch of the 2022 Yamazaki Tsukuriwake Whisky collection (non-age statement single malts, but definitely worth a tipple).
