Spirits
Spirits are the highest ABV products of the alcohol family and as a result have the greatest capability to age, far beyond most fine wines. Cognac and other types of Brandy have long been collectible, with a bottle from the 1762 vintage selling at auction in 2020 for $1,500,000, and rare, aged Rums have started breaking into the mainstream but fine whisky is certainly the most desirable spirit on the world right now.
Whisky can be made in a variety of styles and is mostly produced in Japan, Ireland, the United States and most prominently, Scotland. Single malt Scotch Whisky is extremely collectible and is one of the most sought-after in the world, with the The Macallan's top releases being the pinnacle.
Fortified wines are not categorised as spirits, yet they contain a distilled spirit, usually brandy, to stop fermentation and “fortify” the wine. Port and Sherry are two of the most well-known and popular examples of fortified wines.

Wine Advocate (91)The 1967 Colheita Tawny Port was bottled in 2012 with a long cork. I've seen this release before, but some time in bottle has certainly helped settle it down. It doesn't have a lot of intensity or concentration given its age, but its gentle demeanor, harmony and complexity make it very appealing. Relatively fresh, understated and lingering on the finish, this is easy to love, even if it is not quite a blockbuster. It's typically priced for a tawny this old—the only listing in the USA is at $260. |
