Whisky Advocate: Auction Update

A strong auction showing in August for The Macallan helped the 20-highest hammer prices for the month reach a combined total of $557,495. This pushed Macallan’s appearances on this year’s table past the $3 million mark—reaching that goal faster than last year, and with a larger share of bottles overall. Notably, August of 2024 managed to reach a total of just $366,215.

The auction season now ramps up through fall into the holidays, with upcoming sales at Sotheby’s and Bonhams Skinner. Sotheby’s, Hong Kong has a bottle of Macallan The Reach 81 year old up for grabs, followed by Sotheby’s, New York Whisky & Whiskey sale on September 24th. Bonhams Skinner presents Whiskey Archives: The Lone Star Collection on September 30th, which includes Old Rip Van Winkle 25 year old and Bowmore 1964 37 year old Fino Cask. Whisky Advocate has more.
