April 2017 – Auction Results
After the Macallan bonanza which was last month’s sale, it was good to see the upper end of our latest auction populated by a wider variety of rarities and legendary bottlings. Certainly, legendary, is a word that applies to the front-runner: the Dalmore 50-year-old which...
March Auction Results 2017
If last night’s sale proved anything it is that, for the right bottles, Macallan is still the unassailable king at auction. The first edition Lalique 50-year-old finished up at a whopping £65,210. There’s been a lot of chatter about the charity sale of the full...

September Auction Results
Last night saw another impressive slew of results and the continuation of the effects of a weak pound as buyers gatecrash the UK auction scene looking to scoop up bargains. The irony being there were very few bargains to be had at all. First up we find ourselves talking –...
August Auction Results
Our latest sale featured some exceptional results and continues what has been a remarkable couple of months for whisky at auction. There has been much speculation as to what is causing this: a weakened post Brexit pound; the fact that these are usually some of the most affluent...
July Auction Results
Our latest auction was very much one of market consistency and the firming up of current price trends for certain whiskies. The highest achieving bottle – the Bowmore 1955 40 year old – however was an interesting one in that it was a comfortable and impressive new...
