Whisky Auctioneer prepares for Islay Festival Auction 13th May, 2021 by Melita Kiely
More than 240 limited edition Fèis Ìle Scotch whiskies will go under the hammer this month, including sought-after bottlings from distilleries such as Port Ellen and Bowmore.
The Islay Festival Auction will run online from 14-24 May
Whisky Auctioneer will open the online auction tomorrow (14 May), and run the sale until 24 May.
The Islay Festival Auction has been described as the ‘most extensive and complete collection’ of whiskies produced by distillers on the Scottish island.
The bottles come from ‘Pat’s Whisky Collection’, a stash of 9,000 bottles, which were put up for sale last year through a series of auctions. This auction is expected to reach US$5 million when it concludes in June 2021.
