When whisky turns double digits is when the real interesting flavors and characteristics begin to appear. It’s at this point that each year of additional aging has a significant impact on the value of the underlying whisky. The intermediate threshold is also a turning point in the available supply of casks as they begin to be bottled. With each cask that is emptied those that remain become increasingly more valuable. Intermediate casks offer an excellent option for investors looking for a mid-range holding period with the potential to exit for significant gains within a few years.
