She’s partially right – it’s not an investment. However, if there is a cork style lid, it does tend to dry out over time. This could let air in and ruin a perfectly good bottle of Scotch! If the bottle is unopened, then you can store it in your wine rack to keep the cork moist.
Once it’s been opened, store it upright and every once in a while, just hold the cap and turn the bottle over gently a few times to moisten the cork. This will keep the seal.
Unlike wine Spirits do not improve once bottled. Whiskeys can be stored in any dark spot. Kitchen cabinet, closet. If you’re saving it for an occasion that’s fine but if your saving it in hopes it will increase in value, just pop that puppy.
