Excellent & Prefessional Service
I was very pleased with the service I received from Whisky Auction. From my first contact with them to the conclusion of the sales of my lots the whole procedure was handled in a very professional & friendly manner with prompt payment at the end of the auction. I can wholly commend Whisky Auction should you have any spirits or fine wine to dispose of.
They are very nice to deal with

Fettercairn 40
I bid unsuccessfully on a Fettercairn 40 (reserve not met). I was asked to submit a rebid after the auction closed and am now the proud owner of said bottle. Can't thank WA enough for providing the opportunity I thought I'd missed.
