Auctions

We've added a new benefit for W Club Premium members to avail of. Starting on the 1st of September, we are introducing a new W Club Premium bonus for members who are selling through The Whisky Shop Auctions.

Since 2019, our The Whisky Shop Auctions has flourished into a truly spectacular part of our business. This is hugely due to the hard work of three of our wonderful key team members - Briony Turner, Alan Davidson, and James Corrigan.

One of the most knowledgeable figures in the world of online whisky auctions, Christoffer Hallstrom, answers Whiskeria readers' burning questions on investments, storage, and more!

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.

Angela Dineen, Operations Director at Diageo's Claive Vidiz Collection, walks us through one of the most impressive collections of Scotch in the world.

We are always looking for ways to go the extra mile for our customers, so we have decided to increase the range of our Home Collection service to include some of the most remote parts of the Scottish Highlands. We ask Brett Gleed, our Inverness Store Manager, and Drew Hillier, our resident whisky specialist, how often they will be making the run, if they know any scenic resting points along the way, and what the best bottle they've seen being brought through the door was?

Six reasons why The Whisky Shop Auctions is as popular as ever.

We sit down with Tomas Karlsson, owner of the world's biggest collection of St. Magdalene whisky, to discuss his love of the lost distillery inside the unique surroundings of Glasgow castle.

When not running the show at our Piccadilly boutique, you'll find The Whisky Shop's Alan Robertson driving around the country, picking up auction bottles from all over the UK. We get the inside scoop from Alan on The Whisky Shop Auctions' home collection service.

The Whisky Shop Auction has been live for a week now and we now have over 100 bottles available to bid on! From bona fide classics, personal favourites of our experienced team and some obscure and rare expressions we’ve got bottles for every palate and budget.
