There seems to be more and more bottles released which you can buy as an investment and make an instant profit.

JAB, if this Ardbeg and the Kilchoman you mention in the other thread can fetch such prices immediately after being released, what sort of money are they going to fetch in 10 years.

Another bottle on ebay just now

£475 buy it now

states 10% will go to erskin = Â£47.50

so that would be Â£207.50 pure profit!

It is a nice gesture to donate a little to Erskine but still a lot of profit

yes it is a good gesture didnt have to do that but just cant get away at how much profit there is on a bottle in about a week!

yes it does, wish i had a few more than i have just now in my collection.

i wonder how much the feis ile 2010 bottle will go for then in a few weeks months time?

I dont think you can go wrong with any of the feis ile bottlings at the moment and i would think the foreseeable future, all good investments i think no matter which Islay distillery they come from.
