Whether you’re an experienced connoisseur or a first-time buyer, rare whiskey auctions offer the opportunity to buy unique bottles that you can’t always find at retail. But be careful – it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of the bidding process and overspend. To avoid that, make sure you set a budget before bidding and consider the auction house’s buyer’s premium, transport fees and insurance costs when calculating your maximum bid amount.

Whisky producers are increasingly keen to release limited edition bottles, which have become collectors’ items in their own right. This has led to a number of rare bottles reaching astronomical prices at auction, including the Ardbeg Day bottle and Springbank Local Barley. But it’s not just rare distilleries that are attracting record prices – independent bottlers have also been releasing long-aged expressions with impressive age statements. A Karuizawa Zodiac Rat Cask 1960 from a single cask, for example, sold at auction for over PS363,000.

Amongst the rarities expected to feature in this auction are expressions bottled under the guidance of legendary distiller Julian Van Winkle, the man behind Pappy Van Winkle. Other rare bourbons include the 1975 Special Reserve and Old Rip Van Winkle bottlings, as well as a 1975 Special Reserve bottled exclusively for the Corti Brothers of Sacramento. The sale will also include a selection of rare and historic bourbons from the closed Port Ellen, Brora and Rosebank distilleries. This collection is a remarkable testament to the rich and proud history of American whiskey.
