After a decade of milestone sales at exclusive auctions, The Dalmore delves further into the world of cryptocurrencies
The Dalmore, a brand of single malt Scotch whisky synonymous with refinement and whisky craftsmanship is riding the waves of success in the investment sector. Following the success of The Dalmore Decades Collection, the brand recently launched first NFT with BlockBar – one set of the Decades No.4 Collection lately was offered as an exclusive NFT at BlockBar.com, bridging the physical and digital worlds for the first time in the brand’s 180-year-old history.
The NFT initiative follows the recent record-setting sale of The Dalmore Decades No.6 Collection in October, which achieved a record $1.1 million USD at Sotheby’s Hong Kong. Collectors from Hong Kong, Taiwan and the UK competed to secure the six-bottle collection, with the winning bid going to an Asian private collector. The sale price represents the highest value for a whisky lot sold at Sotheby’s in 2021 and the most valuable whisky lot ever sold by Sotheby’s in Asia. The Dalmore, at the pinnacle of luxury scotch category, is enjoying its moment in the spotlight with the success of its rare Decades Collections.
The Dalmore Decades is a masterpiece of time: a unique selection of exceptional single malt whiskies that tells the story of The Dalmore’s relentless pursuit of excellence through six decades. Three once-in-a-lifetime collections carefully curated by Richard Paterson, Master Distiller of the Dalmore, bring together the quintessential DNA of The Dalmore with bottlings from 1951 to 2000. This Dalmore Decades No. 4 Collection for NFT on BlockBar.com, is part of the three collections launched in September 2021.
The growing appetite for fine and rare whiskies as part of an investor’s portfolio continue to gain momentum with The Dalmore at the forefront of the movement, thanks to its renowned rare releases. The Dalmore remains the fastest growing of all spirits brands by volume over the last 2 years (IWSR 2021). This accolade comes at a time when, according to the 2020 Knight Frank Wealth Report, with a 582% increase in value make rare whiskies one of the most lucrative investments.
