6 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Whisky as an asset class, finally queryable — real auction market data aggregated from the world's whisky auction houses, as a single MCP server.

What you can do

  • 160 distilleries tracked — Macallan, Ardbeg, Springbank, Yamazaki, Nikka, Buffalo Trace: 119 Scottish, 15 American, 13 Japanese, 5 Irish
  • Monthly price history — winning bids min/mean/max, trading volume and lot counts per distillery, month by month (Aberfeldy alone: 222 months of data)
  • Price-spike hunting — the biggest month-over-month jumps and drops in any distillery's history: investment signals, not vibes
  • Side-by-side comparisons — "Macallan vs Ardbeg vs Yamazaki: which appreciates faster?" answered with all-time averages and latest month
  • Macro view — the global market: total volume and lots across every auction house, month by month; plus where rare bottles actually trade (house rankings)

Why it matters

Rare whisky quietly became one of the strongest collectible assets of the last decade — the Knight Frank Luxury Investment Index repeatedly ranked it top-3. But its market data lives scattered across auction houses. This MCP consolidates it for analysis.

Who is this for?

Collectors and investors, distillery analysts, financial-content creators, sommeliers, and AI agents that need real market numbers instead of "it depends".

🔺 **Japanese whisky price spikes (Yamazaki/Nikka/Hakushu)** Biggest jumps: 2015-2017 — the Suntory discontinuation era.
