A community-based charity on the Isle of Islay will benefit after a unique Black Bowmore lot was sold at a Hong Kong auction house sale.
Sotheby’s inaugural live spirits sale in Asia was headlined by the Black Bowmore Archive Cabinet.
The collection surpassed its estimate to sell for £405,000 (HK$4,375,000/US$563,000), and proceeds from the sale of the Islay-made whisky lot will go to the Islay Development Initiative which aims to ensure the island remains a great place, to live, work and visit.
