Singapore – Media Outreach Newswire – 30 January 2026 – Whiskey MansionThe 5-storey hybrid luxury storage, boutique and social facility at 44A Circular Road in Raffles Place, Singapore has reached 90% storage capacity within four months of opening. The facility currently houses over $12 million worth of whiskeys, including some of the rarest whiskeys in the world such as the 50+ year old Springbank 1919, Yamazaki, The Macallan, Karuizawa, Port Ellen, Brora, serving whiskey lovers and collectors in a heritage building setting.
The rapid uptake reflects a growing trend among collectors to unlock the value of alternative assets that have traditionally been hidden in private storage. The facility has processed more than $1.2 million in verified trades within five months of operation, primarily involving clients aged 35-52 from the finance, technology and family office sectors.
Addressing the liquidity challenge
Malcolm de Silva, managing director of Rare & Refine Pte Ltd, said, “There is a huge influx of ‘hidden wealth’, bottles bought years ago for consumption whose value has quietly exploded. “Six years ago, a bottle hibiki 17 Can be purchased for around $80. Today, that same bottle sells for $700—a 1,300% return. The problem has always been: How does one unlock that value? If it stays in the cupboard, it’s just glass. If it is brought here, it becomes liquid capital.”
Traditional storage facilities have inadvertently created liquidity traps, with assets stored in anonymous industrial warehouses lacking visibility. Whiskey Mansion The model addresses this by providing full-service liquidity – combining warehousing with on-site trading facilities in a visible CBD location.
“The basic question facing every investor is: ‘How does a collector sell his whiskey or watches when no one sees them?'” de Silva explained. “We transformed the vault into a visual gallery in the CBD. The differentiator is a showroom as well as full-service liquid storage where whiskey collectors can locate and purchase rare whiskeys.”

“We are seeing unprecedented demand from watch collectors who believe that a Patek or Rolex stored in an unknown safe deposit box has zero trade velocity,” de Silva said. “Just like hibiki 17People are realizing that there are massive benefits to be found in their watch winders. “We are simply providing a market to achieve those benefits.”
