The mercury has been rising this week in Scotland, and with near record temperatures outside, it might be a good time to cool down and take a look at Just Whisky’s latest whisky auction. This month sees them with a fantastic collection of lots, including some real rarities.

Check out the beautiful Balvenie Violinist Set – a real centrepiece of a collection with exquisite packaging. From the other side of the world they have some excellent Japanese lots, including some fantastic bottles from Karuizawa, Hibiki, Yamazaki, Nikka and Hakushu. Back home there are almost too many bottles to mention that peaked our interest – from Port Ellen for the Royal Wedding to old spring cap bottles. Just Whisky would love you to check out their auction and welcome your bids.
