All the results I have to show you in this edition are from Whisky Auction, UK. I will start with
some bottles that fetched ridiculous prices, both high and low.

The two matchbox bottles and
the Grants sold for £100 – why?
At the other end of the spectrum
the pair of (full) Scotch jugs sold
for only £3 for the pair. In the
last week I saw an identical
Sterlini in a NZ antique shop.
They were asking $90 and
theirs was empty. The two
Hennessy are South African
Brandy, not Cognac, so the sale
price of £220 looks ludicrously high. The 23 year old Ron Zacapa Centenario hails from
Guatemala. Rums do not usually fetch big money but at £180 this is an exception. Finally
for this group is the Glenesk which sold for £90. If this was a Glenesk malt the price would
be reasonable but note that this is a blend and it is rare for a blend to sell for this much.
