Scotch Whisky Auctions 138th A Record Breaker! – Auction Whisky News

The just finished 138th auction turned out to be a record-breaker for us in more ways than one, with multiple hammer price records set this month.

Macallan Red Collection 71, 74 & 78 Year Old 3 x 70cl

This is now officially the highest price ever achieved for a single lot at Scotch Whisky Auctions, these bottles sold for an impressive £200,000 in the 138th auction.  We can’t say we’re surprised, it’s not everyday you get the opportunity to purchase three of the best bottles in the entire Red Collection in one fell swoop.

Bowmore 1969 50 Year Old Vaults Series

Another record-breaker this one, this lot certainly raised a few eyebrows when it sold for a whopping £36,000 in the last auction.  Combining beautifully aged whisky and some thoroughly impressive design this is now the highest price ever achieved by a Bowmore here at Scotch Whisky Auctions.

Springbank 1966 Local Barley Cask #441 75cl

While not taking the highest price ever achieved for a Springbank, the £8000 hammer price is the highest ever achieved for a Local Barley here at Scotch Whisky Auctions.  A tremendous expression and worth every penny given the ongoing success of Campbeltown whiskies in the secondary market.

Amazing results were achieved for our sellers last month in the top-end of the market, as evidenced by these record sales so roll on the 139th!
