Whisky Sell-Through & Liquidity Index (WSTI)
Whisky Sell-Through & Liquidity Index (WSTI): a daily index measuring the tradability of the collectible whisky market, sell-through rate and hammer-to-estimate performance, built on ALT/FNDATA's whisky dataset of over 39,000 sold and 7,900 unsold lots across 220+ auction houses since 1998. It tracks market liquidity and demand, not just price. Daily index values.
What this listing delivers
- Daily liquidity index for collectible whisky: sell-through rate and hammer-to-estimate performance, built on 39,000+ sold and 7,900+ unsold lots across 220+ auction houses since 1998.
- Measures tradability and demand, not just price, a factor central to whisky as an illiquid asset that price-only benchmarks miss.
- 35,000+ lots carry both a hammer price and pre-sale estimates, so sell-through and estimate accuracy compute by distillery, region and age. Delivered in JSON, CSV and SQL formats.
Coverage & methodology
The Whisky Sell-Through & Liquidity Index (WSTI) measures how liquid the collectible whisky market is, the sell-through rate and how hammer prices land against estimates, rather than price level alone. Liquidity is central to whisky as an illiquid alternative asset, and it is what price-only benchmarks ignore.
