What drives this bottle's value

  • Single vintage

    Distilled in a single year (1989), so the available batch is inherently finite.

  • Single cask

    A single-cask bottling (cask 12989) comes from one strictly limited outturn rather than a large batch.

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.
