On Wednesday 4 October 2017 Bonhams will be holding a whisky sale. There are quite a few bottles to choose from!

The most exciting lot according to Martin Green who is Bonhams Whisky specialist is the rare lot of 16 bottles of Port Ellen whisky. These will be sold together and are expected to fetch in the region of £25,000.

Another bottle of Port Ellen single malt is also very special as it is one of a limited number bottled in 2017 from 36 year-old 1981 whisky from cask 1297, and was selected by Dr Craig Wilson. This bottle is likely to sell for around £5,000.

Port Ellen distillery closed in 1983 and the whisky has become sought after in the collecting world.
