February Auction Highlights 2019
Due to the sheer volume of interesting whiskies in our February auction, we're going to do things a little different this month. Apart from the dedicated Blog about all the Diageo releases in this sale, we will rattle through whiskies bottled during numerous decades as well as individual distilleries and a haul of Islay Festival releases. It's worth mentioning a large proportion of the whiskies featuring in this sale originate from a single collection bought from the late 1970s up until very recently.
November Auction Hightlights 2018
If there’s ever a whisky worthy of the word ‘legendary’, it has to be the Black Bowmore. And if you’re ever going to splash out and buy one, I would certainly look no further than this example.

September Auction Highlights 2018
After over 10 years since the first release of the 50-year-old back in 2006, the collaboration with Macallan & Lalique has come a long way. This Macallan 65-year-old is the final release in the series and completes the Six Pillars collection. At the time of its release in 2016, this was one of the oldest and rarest whiskies the distillery had to boast. Drawn from ex-Sherry casks we can only imagine the flavours such whisky has to offer. Lalique’s contribution was inspired by Rene Lalique’s legacy, Marc Larminaux. The design is based around a single peerless drop of The Macallan. These were limited to 450 Worldwide.
August Auction Highlights 2018
Taking the spotlight in our August auction is a very special and historic whisky that was ahead of its time when bottled in 1999. We’ve not seen this bottle appear in an online auction since we last auctioned it back in 2012
