Whisky Auctioneer has revealed that the total hammer price of lots sold through its auctions reached over £50m this year.
New world records were set for distilleries across the industry such as Port Ellen, a legendary 'lost' distillery on Islay, after a 12 year old whisky bottled for the Queen’s Visit in 1980, reached a record-breaking £100,000.
A 1974 vintage Ardbeg also became the most expensive bottle of Ardbeg ever sold, attaining a hammer price of £35,000.
