Whisky

Bonhams Rare Spirits Department provides a global platform for finding, buying and selling some of the finest and rarest spirits in the world. Our spirits auctions have the widest global profile of all auction houses, with offices and specialists in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Sweden and Hong Kong. We accept consignments from all over the world, stored in our insured, temperate and humidity controlled warehouses.

Bonhams pioneered the rare spirits auction market, continues to be a global leader in the field and is the only major international house with an office in the global heartland of whisky production, Edinburgh. Our specialists inspect each bottle we sell and taste extensively with consignors to understand the provenance, history and lifespan of everything that comes into our possession. Our team has over two centuries of combined experience valuing, tasting and preparing fine wines for sale and this, along with our extensive and active bidding base, allows us to set numerous auction records each year. While whisky has long been the focus of the market, we've seen outstanding results with unique bottles of Cognac, rums and liqueurs such as Chartreuse.
