The Finest and rarest spirits are coming to auction at Sotheby’s. Names like Karuizawa, Yamazaki, and Macallan that have been bottles of desire to high-end collectors of finer spirits and whisky. This auction may fetch into the millions of dollars if some of the bids already submitted are any indication.

Collectors Dashboard evaluates high-end collectibles as an alternative asset class because collectibles are now routinely attracting the same capital that could have been invested into stocks or bonds. Many wines and whiskies now cost thousands of dollars, and it is becoming routine to see lots sell for the tens of thousands of dollars — and some much more! Collectors may have a passion to own a collectible of this sort for consumption or for bragging rights, but any investor looking this way is only seeking to make a potential profit in the future.

Something for every caliber of collector is available in the 138 lots. Bidding is ongoing with a Live Auction scheduled for April 24, 2022 6:00 PM HKT Hong Kong. Here are the very rare lots that are available at the Sotheby’s event.
