I'd say it very much depends on your audience. As a regular whisky tasting attendee, I'd suggest anything less than 25ml for up to 5 drams would be unusual.

For me it can depend on the bottles. Some do better on one auction than another.
Whisky Auctioneer charges sellers' commission. SWA doesn't.
Both will take a batch of bottles and offer collectio ... |

I've had an excellent experience at Ardbeg and heard good things about the higher end tours at Lagavulin, but I suspect if you like your Islay drams, then you won't go wrong regardless of which one yo ... |

I thought VAT was always paid by the buyer (not just in auctions) thought that was how it worked.
You are correct. If an item is VAT-able then it is the buyer who pays. |

In my experience, the bottle number makes next to no difference to value. The exception to that is when new releases are auctioned (sometimes for charity) and bottle #1 attracts the biggest bids/donat ... |

There are a pile of NAS options from the likes of Bunnahabhain, Glenlivet, Glenmorangie, Glenfiddich, etc. You'd have to pick one of those based on your own preference for strength/cask.

Tried this last night. Found it quite robust and perhaps a little bit sooty? Drier mouthfeel than I'm used to with Ardbeg. |

...I haven't found Ardbeg 10 for less than about $110 CAN - roughly €75 or £65.
Good example - Ardbeg 10 currently at £37 in supermarkets in Scotland. |
