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.

Well I have sold several items now and have been thrilled to bits with the outcomes. All have been nice finds in our cupboards and even some quirky but fabulous decanters. So if they bring enjoyment to buyers, why not. But all together a brilliant experience and such an easy system to follow. Absolutely lovely staff if you have to speak, so very friendly and helpful. Only sorry to think that I have now run out of items as such a great experience watching the bidding. Love to all. Pat Lyon.

Great Auction Site
Of quite a few Whisky Auction sites I follow this one is up there with the good ones. Always have a good selection to bid on, for which the bidding process is simple, correspondance is spot on and delivery very quick, within a few days from my experience.

Top notch company
Whisky Auction is a great company to deal with whether buying or selling. Both are very straightforward and the prices achieved for sellers are very good compared to other auction sites. The staff are polite and helpful. When I recently had an issue with a delivery that had gone astray, they were on the case immediately and kept me informed of progress until it was resolved. Heartily recommended
