Whisky Advocate: Auction Houses’ Most Expensive Whiskies of 2021

The year 2021 was packed with exciting new whisky releases and a busy calendar of whisky auctions around the globe. Whisky Advocate’s annual list ranks the world’s 20 leading auction houses by the most expensive bottle of whisky they sold in 2021 (excluding cask sales and multi-bottle lots).

Hammer prices of the winning bids are shown without buyer’s premiums. While half of the bottles are Macallan, the remaining auction houses served up a diverse mix of single malt Scotch, rye, Bourbon, Irish, and Japanese whiskies to top their sales last year. Whisky Advocate has the full story.
