June Auction Results 2019
Macallan had another good showing in our latest auction. With the 2018 release of the 52-year-old hitting a hefty £55,000. It’s another sobering example of how much things have changed for whisky, given that what would have been the talk of the town a few years back now looks like normal market value.
May Auction Results 2019
Rather unsurprisingly, it was Macallan back near the top of the auction last night with the 1946 52-year-old - always a bottle we like to see - sitting very comfortably at £12,300. Slightly down on some previous results but still a strong showing.
April Auction Results 2019
The latest auction provided its usual variety of curiosities, eye-popping prices and interesting trend indicators. Perhaps most interesting was the Black Bowmore 1st Edition which sold for £16,100. This is a strong price for this bottle, not a record, but strong, and it perhaps speaks to the fact that there is now a steady supply of these kinds of bottles to the market. As consistently high and undeniably attractive prices bring these kinds of bottles to the market more often, it’s understandable that there will be fluctuation within a narrow bracket of consistent prices. Still, 16k for a bottle that was 4k only a few years back isn’t bad.
March Auction Results 2019
Our latest auction featured a nice mix of the surprising and the consistent. The top lot being, rather predictably, the 1946 Macallan at £13,500. Down a little from our previous sale of this bottle at £15,100, and considering this was a 75cl US market version this perhaps could be seen in some lights as a bit of a bargain. However, we should remember this is still a pretty serious price for a bottle we were all speculating about whether it would ever break the five-figure mark not so long ago.
