Thanks for this. I generally drink Lagavulin/Laphroaig/Ardbeg and really know nothing about the Irish (wasn't sure if the ceramic jugs were worth anything). May grab the Glenfiddichs just for good measure!
Oh and any idea what the one in the blue tin lying down on the right hand side is?
I'm no expert either (also prefer peat monsters, plus sherry ones too), just had a quick google/ search on a few auction sites.Oh and any idea what the one in the blue tin lying down on the right hand side is?

For some reason the picture is not loading now, but I think the Tullamore Dew ones are this:

In which case it seems to be from £15-45. Not sure on the bottle to the right (don't remember what it was when looking closer earlier).

You're right, not looking great! May offer her £200 for the lot, got to be worth it at that I'd think?
For drinking or selling? If drinking it could be interesting tasting older styles of whisky very cheaply (relatively), which could be fun. But I would assume (not having tasted them myself) they will be a lot less big flavours than what you're used to, and so perhaps might be a bit boring for you? In your situation I would be tempted to pick a few of them out to try some different whiskies, but not so many that you might not drink them because there's too many "boring" whiskies for your taste. Seems like they're mostly all boxed, so that is good to reduce the risk of "light damage" to them.
It might not be much profit (if any) after commission and taxes if selling. 12 bottles at anything from around £15-45 it seems (without having looked at them all), say average sell at £20 then it's £240 total. With 5% commission and £3 listing fee then 12x3=36 + £12 for commission = £48 selling at cheapest auction place I know. So it would be quite likely you could make a loss after buying at £200.
Opened it yet?
I'll be off on a road trip around Northern Norway/ Finland and Sweden for the next week or so. Will pick up a few things since it's cheaper/ some different choice in Sweden. Pre-ordered this, with complete with the muted colours the whisky industry is known for...
Around a third of the casks used has previously aged cherry wine - should be interesting at least! (Blomstertid is "flower time" - it is part of a "seasons" series, and represents spring). Likely to pick up some Glengoyne 21yo too. Have a small bottle of Jura Superstition for some relaxed evenings in the midnight sun on the way.

I was lucky enough to do a tasting with a friend of mine who is the Mackmyra brand ambassador for the UK.
We only currently stock the standard one but some of the other expressions are superb.
The Blomstertid is superb, the cherry wine casks certainly add great flavour to the liquid.
The distillery has an interesting story as well with it being gravity fed.
He some pics of the range we sampled.
