Single vintage
Distilled in a single year (1991), so the available batch is inherently finite.
Considerable age
A 28-year age statement reflects long maturation and the small surviving volume that implies — older stock is scarcer.
Named / limited release
Released as 5thfolklorescottishseries, a named edition rather than part of the standard core range.
These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
