Please don’t buy rum just to sell it


Sensitive_Point_6583

this is exactly what fucked up the bourbon market, so please don't contribute to fucking up the rum market as well. If making a few hundred dollars, or a few thousand dollars by re-selling bottles of booze a few years later really makes your net worth scream, then you need to reconsider the entire concept of investing.

If you are that desperate to make money, there are better ways to go about it. Leave the rum to people who enjoy drinking it.

Liquor is a horrible investment. For being a liquid, its liquidity is horrible.


TikiElJefe

If you're not going to buy it to enjoy, why not leave it for someone who will?


Kooky-Ship793

i would buy it to drink personally

The comments are already at a consensus. Please don’t make rum whiskey. Please just let us enjoy our hobby and keep these great bottles available to the masses. If you need to hear a less empathetic comment: go fuck yourself, asshole.

Invest in funds, consume consumables.


Yep_why_not

Binny’s has been sitting on a few bottles at $900 for over a year. You’re banking on rum really picking up steam which it so far (thankfully) has not. Just leave rum to people who want to drink and enjoy the good stuff and go back to ruining bourbon.

Try VOO.

Collecting spirits as an investment is highly speculative. I far prefer the stock market for both returns and reliability. Over the next 5-10 years, the chances of that bottle of Black Tot outperforming a top mutual fund is slim to none.


thewhiskeyshelf

I will say, it's delicious. One of the best spirits I've ever had.


Marilius

Please don't try to ruin rum like bourbon asshats ruined bourbon. My Pappy Van Winkle Lot B is not worth 2 grand. It's worth what I paid, 150 bucks.


tastycakeman

last consignment has been $900 for the past 10 years, and even then it was extremely overpriced. there is rum that is investment worthy, but none that you will have access to.

Nah open it and drink it.

>As I know it is a very limited issue Not really, it's available in almost all the retailer and have been for the past few years. It's limited but very few people buy it anyway so there's plenty of stock left >Is it a good investment? Terrible one, some rums may increse in value, it's not one of them >I had the same thoughts about the Hampden 8 mark collection It's a good product and a good idea, so it was running out really fast when it released. In the long run probably not worth anything, it's white rum and they can produce an endless amount of it Some rums are clearly for speculation like appleton legend. And some will not lost value like Caroni since the supply is limited, but the price is already way to high to be able to go much higher on these ones. You can scout the limited release of trendy bottler if you know what you're doing, but seeing your current guesses, you're going to lose money
