Whisky history was made on Monday 22 February 2021 as the curtain came down on the auction of the Perfect Collection of whisky.
With a total final hammer price of $9,100,000 (£6,675,000), the collection of 3,900 bottles has become the highest value private collection ever to sell on the secondary market at an auction dedicated to one single collectors whisky. The auction has been hosted in two parts by market leaders Whisky Auctioneer due to the sheer scale of Mr Goodings whisky library - a man who dedicated two decades of his life in pursuit of the perfect collection.

One of the world’s largest private Scotch whisky collections has sold for more than £6 million at auction. The remarkable collection featured a Macallan 1926 Fine and Rare 60 Year Old, which yielded a hammer price of £1m.
Auctioneers Whisky Auctioneer revealed that history had been made by the sale, which made the collection of 3,900 bottles the highest value private collection ever to sell on the secondary market at an auction dedicated to one single collectorâs whisky.
The auction was held across two stages, due to the vastness of US bottling magnate Richard Gooding’s collection.
Earlier this week, the second stage of the auction was brought to a close. It was during this auction that the Macallan 1926 Fine & Rare 60 Year Old, sold for a hammer price of $1.4m (£1m), a price Whisky Auctioneer says makes it “the first time a single bottle of whisky has sold at an online only auction for one million pounds”
