We strive for continual growth and improvement in the service we offer and to make our auctions the best they can be we have made a small increase to our lot fee.

We have always aimed to be the most affordable option for selling your bottles and are still committed to this.  As such we haven’t raised our lot fee in the last 2 years, however in order to provide the best possible service going forward we are making a small increase from £6 to £8 per bottle from the 152nd auction onwards.

Unlike almost all other auction houses we are still committed to not charging commission to sellers who wish to sell their bottles with us, so even with this small fee increase we believe we are still the most attractive proposition for sellers in the current market.

Thank you for continuing to choose Scotch Whisky Auctions and all the best for 2024.

Submission Form & Label

The 151st auction is now past the midway point, and with the amount of bids flying in there must be a fair few of you trying to soothe those post-festive blues with a special tipple.  Here are a few more highlights in this month which you might have missed.

Springbank 1966 Local Barley Cask #480 75cl

A bottling with legendary status this is the Springbank 1966 Local Barley Cask #480 75cl.  The Local Barley casks distilled in 1966 have been highly prized for a while now, and with good reason.  This particular beauty was aged solely in Bourbon wood and spent a mightily impressive three decades maturing into the fine specimen you see before you.

Ardbeg Special 1965 39 Year Old with Mini in Museum Case

A very special bottling this one, this is the Ardbeg Special 1965 39 Year Old with Mini in Museum Case.  This terrific expression is proudly displayed in a beautiful glass museum case. A very rare vatting of two exceptionally old casks, it is accompanied by a mini and a cleaning kit; so that you might have your whisky and drink it, whilst keeping it in pristine condition at the same time!

GlenDronach 1972 40 Year Old Single Cask #710

By this point I’m sure we’re all well aware of the quality of these releases, this is the GlenDronach 1972 40 Year Old Single Cask #710.  Many a sherried whisky drinker has had a revelatory experience with GlenDronach’s single cask releases, such is the depth of flavour and character they are imbued with.  This particular beast was distilled way back in 1972 and spent four whole decades in a single Oloroso sherry butt.

Glenesk 1971 30 Year Old Silver Seal Decanter 75cl

The word rarity is bandied around often in whisky circles but this, the Glenesk 1971 30 Year Old Silver Seal Decanter 75cl, certainly fits the bill. This one of one bottling from the now silent Glenesk distillery comes in a wonderfully crafted circa 1920’s crystal decanter with hallmarked silver top seal. It also comes with a certificate of authenticity and a crystal stopper. A truly unique release from the iconic indie bottler.We still have plenty of time left in the auction but now is definitely the time to get moving picking out your own personal favourites and making bids.  Best of luck to everyone in the auction, and as always………..don’t lose your bottle.

Whisky Auctioneer Festive Giveaway 🎁🎄

To celebrate the festive season and the 10th anniversary of Whisky Auctioneer, we are hosting a festive giveaway! Over the next two weeks we will be giving away five special bottles, inspired by five special people at Whisky Auctioneer. Please keep an eye on our upcoming newsletters and social media for further details.

We hope you have had a tremendous Christmas and a fantastic New Year, but now the festive revelry has come to an end it is time to continue our whisky odyssey into 2024 with our now live 151st auction!

We have some really excellent bottles in this month, so if you are lucky enough to still be on holiday why not while away the hours scrolling through the auction.  And if (like us) you are back to the grind, nothing beats a sip of something special to beat those post-Christmas blues.

So without further ado here is a mere taster of the multitude of special bottles we have in this month.

Ardbeg 1967 29 Year Old Kingsbury’s

First up is a well-travelled vintage the Ardbeg 1967 29 Year Old Kingsbury’s.  Distilled over five decades ago this marvellous dram was then bottled for the Japanese market by Kingsbury’s and so has undoubtedly been around the block.  Despite the air-miles this is still a marvellous specimen and a great chance to sample the legendary older Ardbeg style.

Hanyu Ichiro’s Malt Card Eight of Diamonds

Closed in 2000 and dismantled in 2004, Hanyu’s legacy lives on thanks to Ichiro Akuto who purchased the remaining 400 casks and began releasing it in the Ichiro’s Malt card series. This marketing masterstroke featured a different playing card on each label, allowing people to easily remember their favourites and encouraging collectors to complete the full deck. There were only 17 years of production at Hanyu so stocks are limited and scarce.

Part of the legendary Malt Card series, this is the Eight of Diamonds.

Glenmorangie 1963 75cl

Pioneers of cask finishes, this distillery has never shied away from experimentation. Under the guiding hand of Maestro Dr Bill Lumsden they continue to release a variety of expressions to keep “The Sixteen Men of Tain” rushed off their feet.

This is amongst the rarest of Glenmorangies. Notable for being the first bottling from the distillery to carry a vintage, and also the first to receive extra-maturation, or ‘finishing’. This 1963 vintage was matured in Bourbon casks for 22 years and finished in Oloroso for 1 year. That’s enough to make any Glenmorangie fan weak at the knees.

Springbank 1993 21 Year Old Luvians for the 2015 Open Championship

Last up is a personal favourite, the Springbank 1993 21 Year Old Luvians for the 2015 Open Championship.  A bottling which is dear to many of us here at SWA.  Many moons ago an incredibly generous customer gifted us a bottle of this and suffice to say it was very popular.  Think piranhas around a hunk of meat popular, it did not last long.

Rich and smooth with a satisfying kick this is an excellent example of Springbank distilling.  You would be hard pressed to find a bottle of similar quality for the price, a real hidden gem of a bottle.

As always we have a wide range of drams with something to suit everyone, so now is the time to get moving picking out your own personal favourites for your watchlist.  Best of luck to everyone in the auction, and as always………..don’t lose your bottle.
