I believe the poorest result in the auction must have been the above at only £20 for the set.
This is the Bimber Distillery London Single Malt Spirit Collection. This is basically English
whisky that cannot be called whisky because it is not 3 years old.

One surprise at this auction was that some poor/very poor bottles fetched high prices.

The Gilbey’s Bond
7 is from Australia.
The auction people
say it is 1940’s but
I think it is later
than that. It is a 1
fluid ounce (about
28ml) bottle. It sold
for £80 – not a
mistake! Another
Aussie whisky is
Gilt Edge. This is a
2 2/3 fl.oz. (47ml)
bottle from the
1960’s or 70’s. It
only fetched £12,
which still seems high to me for a bottle in this condition. 45 and SS Pierce Number 6 sold
together. 45 is Australian and 6 is US. £45 bought the pair.
I’m not going to bother showing the pics but three different New Zealand 45 South minis, all
in better condition than any of the above, went for £6. Three different Wilson’s New Zealand
whiskies and a Dunbar New Zealand whisky went for £7, again, all in better condition than
the bottles above.

On the next page we have a diverse range of minis, most of which sold relatively cheaply.
