Any recommendations on where to sell high value whisky?
I have a bottle of this incoming soon: https://scotchwhisky.com/magazine/latest-news/2760...
As much as I'd like to, at circa £5k, I can't justify drinking it!

Auction - whiskyauctioneer, scotchwgiskyauctions etc. I suspect it will be closer to 1-2 grand though, in that quite a lot of bottles (most of which will likely be sold straight away), a blend (rightly or wrongly less people interested) etc.
Thanks for the reply. Perhaps worth hanging on to for a few years then? 
Scottish Whisky Auctions are good to sell Whisky. I sold some Hibiki 12 70cl 17 and Hakushu 12 and 18 at their last auction. Process was painless although putting over £1000 of Whisky in the DHL post was my main concern. If you were selling your £5000 bottle I would consider driving to Glasgow to hand it over
Possibly - over recent years that would have been a good thing. But hard to know going forward - distilleries are expanding production, the US tariffs have started, and Brexit may add a big tax lump onto stuff going to the EU. So probably more risk to the downside - at least in the shorter term. Plus at some point the bubble has to pop - but I keep being surprised by how long it is going, so who knows?!

I know what you mean...it did arrive via DHL though. I think I may drive up and make a long weekend of it... Perhaps visit a distillery or 3.
I only browse this thread occasionally so apologies if I’ve missed the discussion on the above...!
Blended Irish whisk(e)y is not normally something I entertain at all but, it was entertainment that spurred me to buy a bottle to try! Cheap at £25.
My opinion... surprisingly OK. It’ll never be the connoisseurs choice but it’s an easy drinking blend, fine on its own or with a few cubes of ice or even a mixer for a long drink.
Won’t buy another bottle but it’s the fun of trying to try them all eh.

Bought just 3 bottles this year, as yet not opened any of them. Noah's mill bourbon at 57.2 % . Pikesville 6 year old Rye Whisky at 55% , and last but not least , Talisker 15 , at 57.3 %
Thes are the first whiskies I have bought for some years, having thrown a hissy fit at Diageo's opportunistic price hikes some years back. It's done me no harm, having been slowly going through my stash, opening bottles bought up to near 20 years ago.
Will be interesting to see what I make of the above 3. I do like Rye whisky, having had High west Rendezvous rye , and Whistlepig in the past, very easy drinking. Talisker has always been a hobby horse of mine , ad have high hopes of Noah's Mill. We shall see.

How do you recommend drinking Whistle Pig, neat, water or ice or mixer ?
I drank mine neat. I never use a mixer, and rarely use water, and then reluctantly. You do get the odd whisky, which greatly benefits from water (Highland Park 12, as example) But I've always held the view that if such is needed, then the distillers are doing something wrong. Gary Woodland said:
I want a bottle of Deanston Bordeaux. Don't suppose anyone has seen any anywhere?
Wine-searcher found this if it's any use?https://www.ahadleigh-wine.com/products/8019/Deans...

Yeah I spotted that and then read their reviews that said they take money for non stock items and it's a pain getting it back. Can't be done with the risk when there's no paypal checkout.Thanks for looking though mate appreciate it

No problem. Thanks for looking though mate appreciate it
Might be worth keeping an eye on the auctions to see if one pops up?Gassing Station | Food, Drink & Restaurants | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
