Auction house Bonhams staged an online Japanese whisky online auction that ended this week, in which all the lots were sold, with five bottles of Hanyu’s Diamonds Straight Flush Ace to 5 topping the sale.
The online auction was held from 26 February to 8 March. In the sale, over 60% of lots sold were above high estimate with a total sales of HK$5.4m generated. A set of five bottles of Hanyu Ichiro’s Malt Poker series – Diamonds Straight Flush Ace to 5 shone in the sale and the top lot was sold for HK$1,178,000.
Nine lots out of the top tens of the sale were all bottles from the Hanyu Ichiro’s Malt Poker series, showing the market enthusiasm towards the collection is still very strong. Last November, a ‘full card series’ whisky was sold at Bonhams Hong Kong for a combined total of HK$11,890,360.
