This auction was a truly international affair, bringing together bidders from as far afield as Hong Kong, USA, Germany, and Holland, as well as UK based whisky enthusiasts to compete for some of the most desirable spirits on the planet.

Closed distillery bottlings have demonstrated that they are still high on everyone’s wish list, with the 30 year old 2002 release of the recently resurrected Brora distillery, and the Port Ellen 1979 first annual release leading the way achieving hammer prices of £1,500 and £2,200 respectively.

Rarely does an auction go by where fantastic Macallans don’t feature, and this auction was no exception. The miniature of the 1950 Fine & Rare 52 years old reached £1,500 with the older style Exceptional Cask bottlings also registering strong performances.

This auction attracted fierce bidding from all over the globe, most notably the USA and China, with the regular contingent of domestic and continental European interest.

The star performer on the day was the Glenlivet 1940 Gordon & MacPhail aged 70 years, which was won by a bidder in New York for a fantastic £15,000 hammer price. Macallan, never to be out done, also had a strong performance, with the Adelphi 30 year old independent bottling selling for more double the low estimate, reaching £2,200 with an English bidder.

The appetite for rare and fine whiskies shows no signs of waning in this six weekly dedicated international auction.

With an abundance of fine Bordeaux wines alongside, it came as no surprise there was fierce competition from bidders in France as well as Germany, Austira, Hong Kong, Russia and Australia.

The Pol Roger 1928 exceeded pre-auction expectations achieving a hammer price of £650, more than three times its low estimate. A fantastic price for the antique champagne.

Whisky was not to be outshone, with the Longmorn-Glenlivet 1971 reaching a fantastic £1300 for what will be without question an outstanding spirit.

Strong worldwide competition for Rare whisky and Fine wines shows the continued strength within the auction market for these items.

Results page from the Rare & Fine Whisky Auction.

The Rare & Fine Auction saw some strong bidding from collectors in the UK, as well as further afield in continental Europe, Thailand, Hong Kong and the United States amongst others.

Springbank stole the headlines with two different 1964 vintage bottlings each selling for £3,000, closely followed by the ever-popular Macallan Private Eye achieving £2,800.

But Macallan’s place as a collector’s favourite is not in any threat with Anniverary Malts, Gran Reserva 18 years old, and 10 year olds still performing well.
