August 2016
A big welcome from all of us here at Just Whisky to the 33rd Whisky Auction! This month's Blog sees us examine GlenDronach - a distillery under new ownership. Will the new owners change things up? Will values of their Single Cask bottles skyrocket? The focus of our monthly blog piece is on the Aberdeenshire Distillery and you can read all about it by clicking on the Blog button at the top of the page, or from the menu on mobile devices.
In other news - the array of bottles this month is fantastic, with a particularly nice selection of old Macallan. With in excess of 80 bottles from the Craigellachie Distillers, you'll find something of interest.
Bidding Ends Sunday 21st August from 8PM UK Time. Please note that any bids placed in the last 5 minutes will extend that lot only by 15 minutes.
