Where to Sell Whisky Online

When you’re ready to sell your whisky, the easiest way to start is to list it for sale on the Sell My Whisky -Whisky Hammer website. The Whisky Hammer system automatically bids on your behalf and will proceed to the final payment process. You can pay with most major credit cards or PayPal. Whisky Hammer deducts five percent of the total sale price, which is among the lowest in the industry.

You may also list your bottle for free. However, you must make sure that you are of legal age to purchase alcohol. As a result, if you are under the age of 18 years old, you cannot sell your whisky on Whisky Hammer. The site will ask you to provide proof of age before you sell your whisky. The site will charge you 3.5% for credit card payments made outside the UK

134th Closes This Sunday

Our 134th auction is now well underway and bidding has begun in earnest.  Here are a few fantastic bottles which might have slipped under your radar this month.

Glen Grant 1959 Samaroli

This is a fantastically rare bottling of Glen Grant 1959 from celebrated Italian independent bottler Samaroli.  Samaroli bottlings are prized in general, but older examples like this are always coveted. Rich in colour and highly rated by whisky afficionados internationally this bottle is definitely one to keep your eye on in the current auction.

Glenlivet 80 Year Old Gordon & MacPhail Generations with Sample Set

With thousands of bottles every month in our auctions we’ve seen it all, but even for us it’s rare to get a bottle as special as this.  The oldest whisky ever produced when first released this fabulous Glenlivet was distilled way back in 1940 and spent a remarkable 80 years in cask before finally being bottled.  Expensive sure, but a thing of rare beauty and unrivalled exclusivity.

Laphroaig Over 12 Year Old 80º Proof Cadenhead’s

Fans of Kentucky Bourbon,

Our signature industry is known for stepping up in times of crisis. Unfortunately, it continues to rain in Eastern Kentucky, the death toll continues to rise, hundreds are missing and rescue and recovery efforts are tedious.

This auction is a fundraising event to support recovery and rebuilding efforts from the devastating floods in Eastern Kentucky in July 2022. All proceeds will go directly to the State’s Official Team Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief Fund.

AUCTION LAUNCHING TODAY!

Don’t miss out on the chance to bid on rare and vintage bottlings, exclusive barrel pick experiences and so much more. For more information and to register to bid, click the button below. You must be 21 or older to participate.

Whisky.Auction reunites historic John Walker & Sons records with the Diageo Archive

The world-famous Diageo Archive is home to a new piece of Johnnie Walker history thanks to the work of auction house Whisky.Auction and willing donator Andrew Welford.

An historic ledger detailing the transfer of shares in the John Walker & Sons company during World War II was brought to the team at Whisky.Auction by Mr Welford who was looking for advice on the book’s significance and whether it was of value to anyone. Eagle-eyed auction director Isabel Graham-Yooll recognised the historic importance such a record and knew the value this could bring to the Diageo Archive.

She explains: “This is one of those artefacts that holds so much value to a company archive, but little value to an individual, and so it felt right to reunite the ledger with the company owners. We often see old documents and labels from private individuals coming up at auctions and sometimes they simply need to find the right home rather than make money.”

Diageo Archive Manager Christine McCafferty comments: “I was so pleased that this book has been reunited with our Archive collection for John Walker & Sons, which is our pride and joy. I cannot thank Andrew enough for his kind donation and Isabel for seeing the value of having items like this kept within the business which created them. It helps us to build a full picture of our story to date, and we certainly hope to find some interesting stories buried in the pages.”

The ledger was delivered to the Diageo Archive by Andrew Welford who, alongside Isabel Graham-Yooll, was given a tour of the archives and saw the book laid down in its new home.
