On 8 February, it was an opportunity to meet the experts, enjoy tastings and discover more about investing in fine wine and rare whisky.
We joined London Barrelhouse for an unforgettable evening of tasting and learning about the finest whiskies and wines. This event was held at the iconic Boisdale of Canary Wharf, located at Cabot Square, London. London Barrelhouse’s niche has helped to create a market for a new generation of investors that are following in the footsteps of the world’s wealthiest collectors – and at this event we discovered how.
Kicking things off in style, we enjoyed a masterclass tutorial whereby London Barrelhouse’s experts guided us through top of the range Japanese and scotch whiskies, notably Yamazaki and Macallan, where we could taste and discover why they’re the world’s most iconic names and cornerstones of every whisky portfolio. We even opened and sampled the 1946 52-year-old Macallan select reserve, which was simply delightful!
The tasting was led by James Woodhead, who has over 20 years of experience in the whisky and wine trade, and has had the privilege of travelling the world and working with many producers. James holds a deep-seated passion, knowledge, and love of all things wine and whisky, and at this exclusive event he showcased handpicked wines from regions that are evolving to be the next growth in this exciting asset class.
The tastings were fun but informative: a chance to try those wines and whiskies that maybe you would not normally try and challenge your thoughts on this exciting asset alternative that’s fast becoming the norm for investing delivering year on year double digit growth for the right expressions!
To be named one of the best wine and whisky advisors in the world by Spears 500 is a testament to the hard work and expertise that exists within their network and full credit to procurement, warehouse and front of house. Recognition by Europe’s leading wealth management authority not only vindicates their philosophy, but has helped them to expand their locations with their international office in Singapore giving them direct presence in Asia, which not only opens up vastly more competitive opportunities but together, with London, helps support and strengthen the service they are able to deliver, establishing new and exciting alliances.
