Macallan Whisky Consignment
When you are ready to sell Macallan scotch whisky or consign a rare Macallan cask collection, Sotheby’s Wine can help you realise the highest price at an upcoming spirits auction. In fact, some special bottles might fetch more than you dreamed, and that’s the excitement of auction.
In April 2020, Sotheby's New York held a momentous spirits sale with a phenomenal collection of fine & rare Macallan consigned by Californian retailer Wing Hop Fung. The collection realised $1.5 million and offered vintages spanning the ages from 1937 to 1972, including the coveted Fine & Rare 56 Year Old 1945. In 2019, the Macallan Fine & Rare 60-year-old 1926 sold at Sotheby's London for £1.5 million, making it the world’s most expensive bottle of wine or spirit sold at auction.
