Selling with Just Whisky is simple.

Four stages from first enquiry to payment. Most sellers are done with their part of it in an afternoon.

  1. Get a free valuation

    Send us a few photographs and whatever you know about the bottle. A specialist comes back with an honest estimate, usually within two working days.

  2. We collect your bottles

    We arrange insured courier collection with DHL or DPD — free on UK consignments worth £500 or more. You can also drop bottles off in person.

  3. They sell in our auction

    We inspect, photograph and catalogue everything, then your lots run for five days in front of bidders all over the world.

  4. You receive payment

    Results by email when the auction closes, then payment to your bank or your Just Whisky Wallet — typically within two weeks.

Selling a cask, not a bottle?

Whole whisky casks follow a different sales process, so we’ve created a dedicated guide.

Auction results

What sellers are achieving.

Just some of the exceptional results achieved for our sellers — and no commission taken from any of them. Results like these are what our specialists work from when valuing a bottle: what comparable whisky has actually sold for at auction recently is a far better guide to value than any published price list.

How valuations work

How we value your whisky.

No two bottles are quite alike, and no published price list survives contact with a real saleroom. A valuation is a judgement built from several things at once — what the bottle is, what condition it is in, whether its original packaging remains, and what the market is paying for whisky like it this month.

There is no fixed price list.
Every bottle is assessed individually.

Every bottle is checked against extensive previous auction results. Label, fill level, capsule and general condition are some of the things our specialists look out for.

The bottle itself

Distillery, release, rarity, age and production numbers all help establish what the bottle is.

A standard bottling from a well-known distillery is usually very easy to place a value on. A single-cask release, an official distillery exclusive, or a bottling from a closed distillery in small numbers may each carry a very different value and increase demand.

How many bottles were made often matters more than how old the whisky is. A twelve-year-old from a festival-outturn of three hundred can be worth considerably more than older whiskies produced in the tens of thousands. Where an outturn number is printed on the label it’s worth telling us; where it isn’t, we can usually establish it from the distillery or bottler.

Age still counts, particularly above twenty-five years, but it is only one part of the story.

Condition matters

We assess the state of the bottle as honestly and conservatively as possible.

  • Fill levelHow much is in the bottle.
  • LabelStaining, fading and damage.
  • Capsule or sealOriginality and condition.
  • Original box or tubePresentation and protection.

The market today

Ultimately, value is set by what collectors are prepared to pay today.

We compare your bottle against recent auction results for comparable whisky — not published guide prices. Collector demand shifts by category and region, and a bottle that was out of fashion two years ago may be in strong demand now.

This is why we value against the market, every month.

Unsure what you have?

Send us a few photographs and a specialist will give you an honest estimate, with no obligation to sell.

Questions

Good to know.

  • What are the auction fees?
    We charge a £7.50 entry fee per bottle (+VAT for UK Seller's). You won't pay a penny in Seller's Commission on any item you sell
  • What is a reserve price?
    If you’d like to protect your bottle from selling for under a certain amount, we can place a reserve price on the Lot. This costs £7.50 (+VAT for UK Seller's) per reserve. We will advise if the Reserve Price is too high and will result in a non-sale. We hold the right to refuse to enter a Lot if the reserve price is deemed to be too high.
  • Can you collect my whisky?
    Yes. We regularly arrange courier collections from sellers all over the World. We can arrange a courier collection using our shipping partners, DHL and DPD. You&aposll be able to select this option during the sell process.

    If you’re located more locally, we can also offer a personal collection service for more valuable collections.
  • What happens if my items don’t sell?
    Once the auction ends, you’ll receive the auction results by email and you can also view them in your account area. If you would like to re-list unsold items in the next auction you can do that. There is also the option to have any unsold items shipped back to you.
  • Do you sell whisky casks?
    Yes. Selling your cask shouldn't be complicated! We're here to make the process easy and efficient. We'll advise you on what your cask is likely to sell for. We'll handle any paperwork and ownership transfer and handle your sale completely anonymously. All cask sales benefit from 0% sellers commission, so you will receive the entire hammer price.
