The Whisky Shop Auctions presents our World Whiskies Auction – a showcase of exceptional whisky from beyond Scotland's shores. If you believe the world's best whisky isn't confined to one country, this is the auction for you.
Whisky-making has become a truly global craft, with distilleries across Japan, Taiwan, India, Australia, and mainland Europe producing spirits that rival – and sometimes surpass – their Scottish counterparts. This auction gathers standout expressions from these emerging and established whisky nations, reflecting the distinct climates, grains, and techniques that give each region's whisky its own identity.
Whether you're a seasoned collector rounding out a world whisky collection or simply curious to taste beyond the familiar, this auction offers a rare opportunity to explore just how far whisky craftsmanship now reaches.
Don't miss your chance to bid on these exclusive lots. The auction runs for a limited time:
