Bonhams Whisky and Spirits Department is delighted to present its April sale: Independent Spirits - A Single Owner Collection - No Reserve, Paris.

Bidding will open on 4 April at 12pm and close online in 1-minute intervals on Wednesday, 23 April, starting at 12pm CET // 11am UKT // 7pm HKT // 6am EST.

This 311-lot auction features a collection of 700 bottles, all offered with no reserve, carefully curated by a passionate French collector over 15 years. The majority of the collection was sourced from the French retailer La Maison du Whisky, auctions, and the collector's travels across Europe and Asia.

The auction boasts an impressive selection of independent Scotch whisky bottlings, as well as whiskies from emerging Japanese distilleries like Chichibu, Mars, Kanosuke, and Shizuoka. It also includes exceptional Irish whiskies and selections from other whisky-producing regions worldwide, including Taiwan, India, Wales, England, and Australia.

In addition to whisky, the sale presents a fine assortment of rare rum, cognac, armagnac, and other spirits. Collectors will also find a notable range of independent bottlings from the UK (with a particular focus on Decadent Drinks), as well as France, Belgium, and Germany.

All bottles are carefully stored at Bonhams' warehouse to facilitate worldwide shipping.
