Redefining the art of whisky collecting
Our mission is to make it easy for you to discover, buy and sell rare whiskies and spirits from your favourite brands, renowned distilleries and the world's most exciting independent bottlers.
Welcoming and supporting our customers
After all, great whisky is why we got into business in the first place.
Our story begins with a passion for whisky and people. Our core belief was that the internet could uncover incredible whiskies from across the globe and simultaneously provide an accessible market for buyers and sellers of any background and geography.
A long history working within the spirits industry, alongside a passion for old and rare whiskies, ignited our founder’s enthusiasm to create a trusted platform for global whisky lovers to access bottles that are almost impossible to find through traditional retail routes.
Since 2013, Whisky Auctioneer has grown into the world’s leading platform to discover, buy and sell whisky online at auction. Energised by a team of whisky lovers and industry experts, we utilise our knowledge, combined with our online platform, to increase interest and passion within the whisky and spirits community.
