jimmy the jambo Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I wonder what the true value is for a bottle like this and the mark up hearts are making,maybe for once,it would be great for the club to price something without the need to fleece fans ?

Is that not a little harsh though ? I dont know much about whisky so I may be totally wrong , but is it not likely to go up in value the longer you keep it , and is it not also going to be limited to just 250 meaning it will be rare in the future ? I might be totally wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be totally wrong The issue though is who will be interested in buying a bottle in saying 20 years time? The contents are not that valuable so it would more than likely only be Hearts fans who would want one for the labelling. The limited run does definitely make a difference assuming they keep it to one run but if these go fast they may do one or two more and that in turn reduces the value.

BlueRiver Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Just now, Sooks said: So in say ten years time , worth maybe £150 ? Sort of thing It's hard to say really. If folk buy it to drink it and that 250 dwindles further, the right collector look to pay a fair bit for it. Potentially upwards of 150. I just can't see much demand for a club branded bottle from the wider whisky community though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s maybe about £30 overpriced for a whisky of that age from that distillery, but it is single cask and you’re paying for the rarity and the sheer glory of pouring money into Hearts’ coffers. For anyone wanting to hoard this and make a killing a few years down the line - I don’t think you’ll make much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like 70% of the price of a bottle of whisky goes to the treasury in London. The price of this is about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig_ Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 £150 isn't too bad for a 15yo single cask Mannochmore independent bottling at higher (not cask) strength, especially considering the Hearts link-up. Not convinced it'll accrue much in value unless you keep it for a very long time. Much better to keep it for a special occasion, say winning the cup next year!

Mostly they seem to be doing the same thing with Hibs as they are with us. Releasing limited edition club themed spirits. Looks like they have been doing it a couple of years longer with Hibs. But they do also seem to be a back of shirt sponsor for Hibs, so you are right about them being a Hibs sponsor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
