Independent bottlings make up most of the Inchgower lots here; our study of the workhorse malts and independent bottlers looks at where that happens and whether those bottlings cost more.

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.
