RE: Investing in Whisky and Cryptocurrencies: What do Steem and Pappy Van Winkle Have in Common?

Booze has always had and will always have value! If you get the right stuff well then you are looking at an appreciating investment. Think about it like his: can you imagine a world without alcohol? Prohibition proved that people will do anything to get their hands on the sweet nectar.
I personally became intrigued by booze as an investment when I became a bartender at a posh golf club. It wasn’t good enough for the bar to have just any whisky or scotch. These connoisseurs wanted the highest valued and therefore assumed to be the best tasting bottle available. I remember being schooled by these guys about the why and how to serve it and the whole nine yards. It was an education I’d keep with me forever. I was going to build a vast collection of wines and whisky. I bought my first bottle of wine for investment at that time. A 1980 Bordeaux. I thought I was king of the world. I have yet to truly get my wine collection going as life dictated other terms for my financial disposable income but I have always kept the idea of building that collection in the back of my mind.
Thanks for the intriguing post.
