Despite global market instability due to COVID and the Ukraine conflict, the cask investment market remains strong. The Scotch Whisky industry’s robust performance is supported by record numbers of new distilleries, exports exceeding £6bn, and the removal of tariffs on Scotch Whisky imports into the US.
While gold dropped and markets generally finished around the same mark as the year before, the value of the Whisky index rose by double digits. It shows more investors are turning to Scotch Whisky as a means of not only growing but also protecting wealth in these times of high inflation and market instability.
But as this interest grows, so does the need for reliable and transparent data that provides real insight into this expanding market. That is why our report, our Whisky Index, and the algorithm behind it, are vital and reliable methods of measuring year by year the fluctuations, intricacies and changing trends in a market that is ripe for opportunity.
