Need to save for a rainy day? Forget your 401k and forget hoarding gold. Think about something that's has been a hot market for years now: whiskey.

Stocking up on rare whiskey has become pretty lucrative for investors with a better rate of return than oil and gold.

For example, a single bottle distilled in 1920s can fetch more than $10,000 at auction.
