Most of us have a few bottles that haven’t been touched in years. They could be unwanted gifts, forgotten treasures or inherited bottles meant as investments or saved for a special occasion. Whisky.Auction is offering its invaluable expertise free of charge to anyone who is looking to dust off their wares and possibly cash in.
What is Whisky.Auction?
Whisky.Auction is a fantastic resource for anyone buying and selling whiskies, spirits and rare wines online. It was founded and is managed by some of the industry’s leading experts in rare and antique spirits. Buyers and sellers place bids and submit bottles from across the globe, while Whisky.Auction‘s experts inspect every bottle that appears in each auction to guarantee its authenticity. It also sells a wide range of rare fine wines and spirits, miniatures and whisky memorabilia.
Free Valuation Service
Whisky.Auction hosts a monthly auction of spirits, liqueurs and wines. They are offering a free valuation on any bottle so you can decide whether they’re better off sold or drunk (invaluable info, if you ask us)!
Recent sales have seen Michael Amphlett from Oxfordshire sell a bottle of Macallan whisky he had bought for £11 in the 1970s for £2,700; and a set of 11 bottles of Lemon Hart & Sons rum Charles Metcalfe from Sussex had inherited from his father sell for over £12,000.
Isabel Graham-Yooll, Auction Director at Whisky.Auction says:
“Every month people come to us with all kinds of bottles that they’ve bought, inherited or discovered. They might just be gathering dust in the back of your cupboard at the moment but there’s a good home out there for every bottle. Whisky.Auction has a team of experts ready to help. Some of our customers have been really surprised by how much their bottles are worth!”
