A new auction and a new blog!

Welcome to the new Scotch Whisky Auctions blog.  We're hoping to bring you previews of upcoming auctions as well as news from HQ, as well as our all important Big Peatrie vlogs.

So what's in this month's auction?  First of all, we wanted to mention our very special collection of Black & White bottlings, the oldest going back to 1932.  An incredible bottle which even comes with the original Christmas box, wishing the recipient "greetings and good cheer".

But what if your tastes are something more modern?  Well fear not, there is something for everyone here!

A lot more up to date but still unusual comes in the guide of the SMWS 26 malts collection.  There's an  interesting story behind the creation of this collection.  In 2005, 26 writers were randomly paired up with 26 designers from the UK's leading agencies. Each creative pair receiving their own SMWS single cask bottling.  These bottles formed a collection, of which there were just 20 released.  Here at SWA we've had a set in the auction before, but we were really excited to have another.  Big Peatrie really liked this set, saying that he wouldn't mind having a copy of the print hung on his wall in the SWA croft!

The start of a really good party

There's real humour in the labels, particular highlights include "Cheap industrial cooking whisky" which "removes stubborn limescale" with instructions underneath in smaller print advising that you leave the bottle on a high shelf where your friends won't accidentally drink your fine whisky!

My kind of household product!

These two are only 2 lots in this month's auction, there are literally hundreds more for you to look at, mull over and bid on.  Just before you head over, here's a few words from Big Peatrie himself:




As ever we're facebooking and twittering too, so make you join in.  In the immortal words of the Big man himself, jump in, take a look around and don't lose your bottle!
