What drives this bottle's value

  • Single vintage

    Distilled in a single year (1997), so the available batch is inherently finite.

  • Named / limited release

    Released as sherrywood, 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.
