Our rare Japanese whiskies feature the Karuizawa Hanshin Tigers collection. These limited edition series of bottles were released in 2003 from Karuizawa, to celebrate the Hanshin Tigers baseball team. Made up of 12 different bottles, each one is uniquely designed to look like different members of the team. This is a fantastic series to collect.
Our Irish selection includes rare and hard to find editions of Jameson and Bushmills. Perfect for anyone who admires their classic Irish whisky. A stand out for your collection is the John Jameson 12 Year Old 1970s Bottling 86 Proof. A bottle from the 1970s that was made at the iconic old Bow Street distillery.
We also have a wonderful range of rare Canadian whiskies. A rare one to add to your collection is the Rare Hare 30 Year Old. Aged for 30 years, it’s a limited edition whiskey from Playboy Spirits.
Rare world whiskies can be a good investment. They often come with high prices but have the potential to increase in value over time. However, to make a successful investment, it’s important to carefully research the market. You need to focus on finding bottles that are undervalued by looking at key factors such as their age statement, rarity and overall quality. These characteristics can help identify whiskies with strong investment potential, even if they are not immediately recognised by the market.
Japanese whisky is collectible due to its rarity and limited availability, especially from closed distilleries such as Karizawa. Over a decade ago, many people were unaware of Japanese whisky, but in more recent years it’s attracted the attention of collectors. The attention to detail in production, blending and packaging adds to the appeal, with some bottles featuring intricate designs such as washi paper. Over the past decade, Japanese whisky has gained international recognition, winning multiple awards. The incredible history and culture surrounding it also add to its growing appeal.
To verify the authenticity of a rare world whisky bottle, there are a few key things to check. First, look at the fill level. Newer bottles should be filled to the neck, while older ones may drop to the shoulders due to evaporation over time. You can also shake the bottle, as whiskies with higher ABV (above 50%) will hold bubbles longer after shaking. Finally, look for details such as holograms, barcodes or other security markers on the label. Some distilleries, such as Macallan, even let you scan a code to confirm the bottle directly on their site.
