M Mum bought Dad a cask of Aberlour whisky many years ago for Christmas, he didn’t actually get it for a couple of years. Delivered in wooden crates, fine wood shavings and tissue wrapped bottles, we’ve still got a couple of bottles.
It was bought as a present and enjoyed as such, those left were shared out after he died, hence the couple we have

There’s an ad on tv about buying a cask of malt whisky. I was curious as to who would want one and why, so read up on it. I didn’t realise they were bought and stored (for a price) to await appreciation in price as an investment! Known as ‘liquid gold’.

Someone who I know, her husband buys gold coins.

Anyone on GN with unusual investments? Bitcoin (which I don’t understand), fine wines, high end watches for example.

Savings (for those fortunate enough to have them) might be safe in a savings account, it won't earn a lot of interest – not as much as it might if you were to invest it I dare say. Reading up on some aspects was very interesting and got me wondering about this world of which I had no knowledge.
