These are the five whiskies I bought back when they were still affordable… and today? They’re almost untouchable. From the elusive Yamazaki 25 to the mythical Brora 30 2010, these bottles have gone from budget indulgences to collectible investments.

In this episode of Malt Activist, I take you through each of these five whiskies — why I bought them, how much I paid, what they’re worth today, and whether the hype is still worth it.

Whether you're a collector, an investor, or just a curious dram lover — this is a peek into how crazy the whisky world has become!

Yamazaki 25
