Yes my pics^
Are those your photos?
Looks like a fun activity. Certainly better than collecting stamps
You could also collect some juices (yeah, they won't last long if they're natural) - for the sake of making cocktails!

Wine is also a great investment. Why not?
If you would have bought a 2005 wine, that would be 15 years older in 2020.

Carlos Rossi Sangria for the cheap dates.
A block of cheese and crackers to go with it for the fancy ladies. Whoohoo!

Evolution.
But you have the problem will the wine keep over the years, and if not you have lost all the value.

View media item 4950I purchased these a few days ago.
1 quart bottle of Chivas Regal 12 years and a 1 litre bottle of Johnny Walker Extra Special Black Label that has been stored away for over 30 years
The Chivas is 43% proof which is a bit different to the current Chivas which is 40% proof
The Extra Special Black Label has volume contents, however there is no proof % anywhere on the bottle or box which surprises me.
Even though they say whiskey don't age in bottles, I expect the contents of these to be superior to what's currently available in Dan Murphys
I don't think I would go wrong with this purchase, bought both for $100

I ended up buying 3 bottles of the Chivas Regal 12 years @ 43% proof.
One was in a litre bottle, the second a quart and the third was 750 mls
The Chivas Regal sold in bottle shops now contains 700mls and is 40% proof.
Just opened one of the bottles and I was pleasantly surprised at just how good it is!
I only paid $35 for the 750mls bottle and I certainly wouldn't be ashamed to offer it to my guests.

I don't know if you should call whiskey an investment .
More like an expansive hobby
So let the battle of 12 year old single malts begin .
There's 2 more in the limited edition 12 year old range .
So I need to purchase at least 2 of each =6 bottles in total .
1 to drink & one to put away for later
I might try to swap a 1/20 gold lunar for my next bottle instead of cash
I wander if I could start a gofundme thingy to support my hobby ?

For severe crisis times, spirits could be great for tipping or for bartering.
Let me know if you're ever selling that Glenmorangie Malaga cask - 'tis one of my wife's favourites and it always pays to be in her good booksView attachment 58373
Pulled the singles out (little hard to see in the "family shot") didn't worry about the "fillers"
