Single Bottle Of Brora 1972 Up For Auction

[William]

A rare original distillery bottling of Brora 1972 will come up for auction next week, what makes this 44 year old bottling exceptionally rare is that it is the oldest official original distillery bottling of Brora ever to come up for sale and it is also the only bottle to have been drawn from the ex-sherry butt #4817 it matured in.



The Brora 1972 auction will take place next week on Friday 19 May 2017 in Bonhams Hong Kong saleroom as part of Bonham’s ‘Fine & Rare Wine, Cognac and Whisky’ auction which starts at 9.00 GMT (16.00 HKT).

Anyone want to hazard a guess to what it may fetch at auction?

I will say it will fetch £30,000

[Torrie]

I wonder what happened to the rest of the whisky from the cask.

I will say £45,000, well at least that is my limit and I am sticking to it.

[jcarrick]

I am not bidding as I like a bottle to drink and one for the collection.

It reckon it will go for around £18,000

[Blackadder]

As it is a one off I think it will certainly go for more than £30K

A difficult one to predict, there is a lot of whisky drinkers and collectors in Asia who would pay big for this. A 44 year old 1 of 1 bottle of Brora, I will go over the top and say £55k

I think you all have too much money to spare, all your estimates were high, it sold for £14, 534 at auction yesterday. jcarrick was closest with a estimate of £18,000
