  - Stocks sink but there's whisky galore
 
While investors flee traditional stock markets on growing recession fears, trade in rare bottles of whisky is flourishing. Roughly a year after the launch of a Dutch online trade platform for exclusive single malt whiskies, mostly from Scotland, the World Whisky Index has seen an average return of 26.2 percent, comp cent, compared to a more than 40 percent decline in the MSCI World stock index.
 
주식은 폭락해도 위스키는 활황세
경기침체에 대한 우려의 목소리가 커지면서 투자자들이 전통적인 주식시장에서 빠져나가고 있다. 그런데 희귀한 위스키의 거래는 활황세를 맞고 있다. 스코틀랜드 산 싱글 몰트 위스키 한정품을 주로 거래하는 네덜란드 온라인 플랫폼이 풀범한 지 1년 정도 되었는데 세계 위스키 지수는 평균 투자 회수율이 26.2퍼센트를 기록해 왔다. 이는 MSCI 세계 주가 지수가 40퍼센트 이상 떨어진 것과 비교되는 수치.
