Take a look at some of the incredible lots on offer this month.
Kingsbury are Japan’s most sought after independent bottler. They were founded in 1989 by Eaglesome, the high-end deli in Campbeltown that was purchased by J & A Mitchell & Co of Springbank distillery, and turned into one of the region’s finest whisky merchants.
In 2015 Ichiro Akuto released the first four cards of his now widely sought after series. Now, 14 years later, there are 58 different expressions (13 of each suit, 2 jokers and a second edition of the first four released). This month we are delighted to feature a great selection of the popular collection.
Full of fantastic examples of old Macallan, the Fine and Rare series of whiskies was designed to represent the very best vintages that Macallan had to offer, dating back as far as 1926.
The world of American Whiskey holds a vast array of spirits to explore with seemingly endless variety – from bourbon and rye to malt, corn and Tennessee whiskey. The vintage, rare and old whiskies from America are truly a product of their time, more often than not holding a direct connection to historical events at the time.
Tullamore Private Stock circa 1950 / Daly’s
A fascinating piece of Irish whiskey heritage, this is a late 1950s / early 1960s bottling of Tullamore which will have been produced entirely at the original Daly’s distillery in County Offaly.

Macallan Lalique Six Pillars Collection Leads the way in Record Breaking Online Auction
PERTH, SCOTLAND – Bottles from The Macallan Lalique Six Pillars collection have broken auction records after being sold in a recent auction by Whisky Auctioneer (www.whiskyauctioneer.com), achieving a collective hammer price across the four lots of £296,500.
This price surpasses the previous record from November 2018, when four bottles from the same series sold at auction for a collective hammer price of £272,000 according to Rare Whisky 101.
The Macallan Lalique Six Pillars Collection is one of the most exclusive and desirable ranges of whisky in the world. Featuring in the auction was the 50 Year Old, 55 Year Old, 57 Year Old and 60 Year Old. These lots prompted an enormous amount of interest and bidding activity from across the globe with over 140 bids placed across the four lots. The eventual winners were located in the US, Asia and the UK.
The bottles also played a contributing role in an even larger record being broken. With a total value in excess of £2.6 million, Whisky Auctioneer’s December Auction itself is the highest value online auction ever. Close to £850,000 of this £2.6million came from sales of bottles of The Macallan alone.
These records not only indicate the continuing global demand for buying and selling whisky on the secondary market but also the increasing use of online auctions as a means for private collectors and investors to access old, rare and iconic whiskies.
Iain McClune, director of Whisky Auctioneer, said: “We are beyond delighted to feature these exceptional bottles in our auction. They represent the absolute pinnacle of rare whisky collecting and investing.”
“Our most recent auction result illustrates that the very highest end of the secondary market, which was once the preserve of the traditional auction house and its attendees, is now accessible via online auction. A positive development that makes the buying and selling of whisky an easier and more straightforward process that is open to all.”
It was not just The Macallan that broke records either: Other record-breaking bottles sold within the same auction include the Hibiki Arita Decanter, that achieved a hammer price of £17,500 and the Bruichladdich 1960 Sherry Cask 100 Proof, that achieved a hammer price of £10,000.
It is not unusual for the Perth based company to see records broken in their monthly auctions however the large number witnessed in their most recent auction speaks of an exciting year ahead both for Whisky Auctioneer and the industry as a whole.
The next auction goes live on 25 January and will close on 4 February.
