Whisky Auction Update July 7th, 2023: The 20 Highest Hammer Prices in June
July 7, 2023 –––––– Jonny McCormick
June’s auction market spanned a broad range of age offerings, from a 12 year old to an 81 year old. While scotch took the five top spots in the rankings, there were big-ticket Japanese whiskies and bourbons as well. After several consecutive months of seeing the list’s combined value top $1 million, the total for June slumped to $795,036 and included the first lot sold for under $20,000 to make the list.
