Past auction results, not a valuation or a guide to future prices. Figures compiled 12 November 2026.

Independent bottlings make up most of the Dailuaine lots here; our study of the workhorse malts and independent bottlers looks at where that happens and whether those bottlings cost more. Before comparing a hammer price with a shop price, add the fees: buying whisky at auction vs retail works through them. Auction medians for many brands have fallen since their 2021 and 2022 peaks, as what 1.6 million auction lots show about whisky prices sets out.
