As always, 2022 was a big year for whisky purchased at auction. Sales of fine wine and spirits at top auction house, Sotheby's, soared to a record high of US$150 million in 2022, up 14% on 2021's total of US$132 million.

Here at The Whisky Shop, we noticed that some whiskies were sipped on by our customers above all others. These are the best-selling whiskies of 2022: our customer favourites.

With the delivery portion of Christmas shopping officially behind us, there's still time to purchase a perfect whisky gift at your local The Whisky Shop.
