  1. On single malt – Heh. Several years back (early oughts) I picked up a bottle of Loch Dhu in my local Virginia ABC store, mostly because it looked interesting. Probably cost me all of 25 bucks. It was quite good, but not being a big drinker, it took several more years for me to finish it.

    Thinking it might be nice to pick up another one, I found no retail outlet had it. Looking online, it now is considered very rare, and you’ll pay about 225 pounds ($293 at current rates) for that bottle.

    Not sure it’s a great retirement vehicle, but I guess it’s better than tulips.

  2. Not sure if I can quite understand the logic of purchasing high end whisky. If everything collapses, who will pay high dollars for a bottle of high end whisky? Some other preppers have suggested buying a large bottle of average quality whisky and have lots of little bottles to divide it into for use as barter. That makes more sense to me.

  3. Agreed. I would imagine that those seeking alcohol amidst a collapse will be choosing quantity over ‘quality’. Suspect those big, cheap, no-name plastic vodka jugs (less shatter-able) would return the highest yield.

    Just don’t let them drink it anywhere near you. Bad things will happen.

  4. I might store alcohol, but it wouldn’t be for barter. Who would want someone in a desperate need for a drink knowing you had alcohol available. Who want’s an alcoholic to deal with.

    IF I did have some for barter, it would be for years later, after all those addicted to it had ‘went away’. Better, to have a still and the knowledge to make more, than to store… so, after things settle out, one could convert grain into spirits.

  5. The most efficient way to purchase and store alcohol is buying Everclear pure spirits (200 proof). You can usually find the stuff at PX’s. Note that drinking it straight can kill someone! But it can easily be diluted to a safe level with other liquids. When I was in college we drank grain alcohol and grape juice, then called “Purple Jesus.” That was a long time ago…
