How does one go about securing such an auction if you aren't from the East Coast? We are in the midwest USA and would love to do a Whisky auction but it's not that popular of a notion around here. Anyone from Chicago want to go in with me? LEt me know John, I would feel guilty as sin if I drank that LOL! How does one go about securing such an auction if you aren’t from the East Coast?

I also had a bottle of this (but drank). I saw it at WhiskyFest New York and it was ROUND! :) See you soon.

How much do you think six bottles of Laphroaig 40 would be worth? Someone wants to buy them from me but I don't know exactly what they're worth. Thanks. Amit. John,

Maybe it was in the Bonham's Auction? I have a bottle of the 1963 Glenmorangie, so I am curious what it is worth. Luke, it would certainly be nice to see more Redbreast 15.

I'll bet the Bowmore '64 is amazing. The Mac 55 isn't surprising since the bottle is so friggin' expensive, to say nothing of it's contents. I'd be happy to pay $84 for Redbreast 15. The 12 is available at my local store, and it's about $50, so that isn't an unreasonable number for really good Irish Pure Pot Still... Some of those prices seem downright reasonable!
