Portfolio Construction Principles
A well-balanced whisky portfolio combines stability, growth, and diversification across distilleries, regions, and age statements.
The 60-30-10 Approach
60% Blue-Chip Bottles: Established distilleries with proven track records. Macallan, Bowmore, Springbank. These provide stability and consistent appreciation.
30% Emerging Opportunities: Japanese distilleries, Irish craft whisky, and new Scottish independent bottlers. Higher growth potential with moderate risk.
10% Speculative Holdings: Closed distilleries, experimental releases, and rare finds. High risk, exceptional upside potential.
Diversification Strategy
Don't put all your capital into a single distillery or region. Spread across Scotland (Highlands, Speyside, Islay), Japan, and select American or Irish releases.
Consider age statement distribution: mix 12-15 year bottles (more liquid) with 25+ year bottles (higher appreciation potential).
