We have received word from the chaps over at Just Whisky Auction that their best auction yet goes live today and from what we’ve seen it looks to be a corker. With their usual selection of rare old whisky plus brand new bottles from this year’s Feis Ile it looks like they continue to go from strength to strength while they continue to provide top class bottles and service.

There are so many top quality bottles on offer this month it’s hard to single any one out, but we’ll try! It’s been a while since we’ve seen the Macallan Robert Burns Bottling up at auction so it’ll be interesting to see how much it fetches. With much more common bottles from the Macallan soaring in price of late, this ultra-low volume (1 of 250 worldwide) is one to watch.

Next up and from the same neck of the woods is a very seldom seen 1957 Macallan-Glenlivet Gordon MacPhail bottle. This is the desirable version with the flora screen print.

With Feis Ile drawing to a close it was inevitable some of the special releases would find their way to auction and it happens to be Just Whisky Auction who benefits from the first bottles trickling in for lucky customers to place bids on. Highlights include a smattering of Bowmore Feis Ile 2014 bottles, the Bruichladdich Octomore 1695 Discovery, the Lagavulin Feis Ile 2014, Bunnahabhain Drám An Stiúreadair and no doubt plenty more.

In other Islay related news, Ardbeg Day was celebrated on the 31^st May with a football related launch of their less peaty (shock!) whisky – Auriverdes. Following on from last month’s controversy with the sale of a Gold Auriverdes for nearly £2,600! comes the first standard Auriverdes bottles to hit UK auctions.

We’ll let you check out the bottles yourself, and we’re told bidding goes live at 6pm while the auction runs until the 15^th June at 8pm.
