I am planning to buy the limited edition of Johnnie walker, King george the 5th, is it a good investment?

I am planning to buy it at $799 AUS and I have been talking to people that it will be worth a fair bit in a few years when they run out of stock. The distillery used to make it doesn't exist anymore and the chances of it going up are huge once it becomes sold out. Do you think it is worth it to put my money into such an item?|||I think you should seek advice from an auction house. Sotheby's, Christie's and Bonham's would be a good place to start for investment advice. It's such a specialised area and Special Editions can be a minefield. Johnnie Walker King George V was blended to celebrate the first royal warrant awarded to Johnnie Walker and is said to have a flavour remenisent of the 18/19 century whiskys. I think you may have been given some duff information about the distillery not existing any more as well. In the UK it retails around 拢400-拢450 per bottle. Try using search engine for more info.|||Potentially yes it will go up in value so the longer you keep it the more it will gain in value. Wether it ever reaches "silly money" figures will remain to be seen as i would imagine you would not be around by that time to see it. Double your money......quite probably! Four Figures.......it's possible. Five or Six Figures......you will need to live for a few hundred years.|||Can you afford to lose this money? You have no guarantee that the item will go up in value, nor how much it will go up. "Limited editions" can be issued in very large quantities so there may not be much of a rarity value to it.





The fact that you did not know that Johnny Walker still exists rather suggests that this is not a subject about which you know very much. If you are wanting to invest you would be better off investing in a field in which you are an expert.





I would only buy this Scotch if it is a brand you enjoy and you are going to enjoy drinking it.|||In my opinion you should only get this under a couple of conditions the first being if you have the money to spare. You might also consider how important it is to you, the relative increase in value with time, it is some way holds value for you. If you can put up front the money and keep this investment for future sales consideration then go for it. Get expert advise on its future potential.|||Absolutely,Johnny Walker is the name on which you can trust.
