🥃 The Macallan: World's 'most valuable' whisky to go for auction 🥃 A bottle of single malt whisky from The Macallan distillery is set to go for auction next month, with an estimated price of up to £1.2m, auction house Sotheby's has said. It said The Macallan 1926 was known to be the most sought-after Scotch whisky. This was confirmed when a similar bottle was sold in 2019 for a record-breaking £1.5m. The latest sale will be the first time since then that a bottle from the same cask has been brought to auction. The cask was distilled in 1926 and aged in sherry casks for six decades before being bottled in 1986. Just 40 bottles were produced and they were reportedly not made available for purchase - instead, some were offered to The Macallan's top clients. The appearance of any of these bottles at auction over the years has resulted in extraordinary results. The Macallan Adami 1926 will now come under the hammer at Sotheby's in London on 18 November, with an estimate of £750,000 to £1.2m.

The Oldest Whisky in the World: A Remarkable Discovery Several bottles of whisky, believed to be the oldest in the world, have recently been unearthed in the historic Blair Castle in Scotland. Dating back to 1833, the same batch was once enjoyed by Queen Victoria herself during her stay at the castle in 1844. The discovery has attracted the attention of collectors, with bids already reaching thousands of pounds for each bottle. The cache of 24 dusty bottles, out of a total of around 40, was found hidden behind a cellar door in the 750-year-old Blair Castle in Perthshire. The ancestral home of the Dukes of Atholl, the castle now plans to exhibit the remaining bottles as part of the Blair Castle visitor experience. Whisky Auctioneer, based in Perth, is hosting the online sale, which is expected to fetch a total of over £240,000. According to a plaque found with the stash, the whisky was distilled in 1833 and matured for eight years before being bottled. This makes it the oldest vintage in existence. The bottles have generated significant interest, with several hitting their £10,000 reserve price within hours of the sale opening. #investment #opportunity #whiskycollection #whiskylover #whiskybarrel #whiskycask #invest #investor #Investing #investors #assets #asset #assetmanagement #assetprotection #whisky #whiskylife #scotland  #scottish #scottishbusiness https://lnkd.in/gm84JbXK

The spotlight is on The Macallan Adami 1926, hailed as the 'most valuable whisky in the world,' as it gears up to hit the auction stage at Sotheby’s on the 18th of November. 🥃 Crafted in Aberlour and aged for an impressive six decades in sherry casks at Easter Elchies House, the whisky producer's 'spiritual home,' holds the distinction of being the oldest Macallan vintage whisky. With a mere 40 bottles ever produced, only 10 are believed to have survived. This whisky is not only one of the rarest but also among the priciest. The meticulous reconditioning process, including details of the cork and capsule, sets this bottle apart, making it a true collector's gem. Advanced bidding has already taken place on the 1st of November, but anything can happen a week from now! Experts predict a sale ranging from £750,000 to £1,200,000, but given its record-breaking streak in 2018 and 2019, reaching as high as £1.5 million, the auction promises to be nothing short of exhilarating. Don't miss the chance to witness history in the making as this unparalleled masterpiece finds its new home. https://bit.ly/3sl5Kf9 #WhiskyEnthusiast #ScotchWhisky #Whisky #WhiskyInvestments #WhiskyLovers

The Laphroaig 16-year-old is fetching much higher prices in EU auctions compared to those in the UK. With prices soaring up to €160 in the EU, the norm in the UK remains at €100 or less. The prices for both the Laphroaig and Sazerac we shared Wednesday are fluctuating significantly. While the Sazerac had varying prices across UK auction houses, the Laphroaig indicates that there can be notable differences between UK and EU auction houses as well.

We are delighted to share that Noble & Co published our 2nd annual Whisky Intelligence Report today, assessing the auction market for fine and rare whisky. In this report we disclose: - The macro-economic climate is challenging for luxury and collectible assets, and this is weighing on the auction market - For bottles selling over £1,000, the value transacted over the last 12 months is down by 7% although volumes are up by 10% - For bottles sold for £100 or more, the market is flat and volumes are up by 17% - Ultra-rare bottles, such as The Macallan 1926 which sold for a record price recently, are still selling as trophy assets - However, at the top end of the market, there are signs of buyers holding bottles back, or holding firm to reserve prices and not selling bottles - At the lower-priced end, volume growth is very strong due to the rise of ‘flippers’ and consumers seeing it as a source of bottles to drink that they can’t get in the shops - The report features excellent insights by industry experts on the past, present and future of independent bottlers (David Stirk), the future of auctions (Jamie Ritchie), whether packaging matters (Kristiane Sherry) and the challenges of the cask market (Mark Littler) We are grateful for the many brands and partners who worked with us on this report including Brainnwave The Glenturret The Macallan Sotheby's Bonhams Scotch Whisky Auctions Ltd MALTDAQ Whisky.Auction Just Whisky Auctions Speyside Whisky Auctions Limited Glenkeir Whiskies Ltd Aste Bolaffi Prestige Whisky Auction Ltd Volpe & Castello Limited BlockBar #auctions #fineandrare #whisky #luxury #aspirational #highnetworth #ultrahighnetworth #familyoffices #collectors #bottles # To download the report, use this link - https://lnkd.in/esEwQTdc
