What drives this bottle's value

  • Single vintage

    Distilled in a single year (1988), 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.

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.
