Zachys Auction Presents Barrel Strength - A Collection of the World's Finest Spirits - in London on 31st March 2022

As the name implies, we feel this collection is strong. In fact it has many strengths, not only the alcoholic strength printed on the bottles. The consignor of this collection is a meticulous collector of many things. Collecting is his greatest passion in life. So much so that he works as the head curator for several museums. Yes, the same attention to detail that he brings to his work as a curator, he has brought to his whisky collecting over the past 30 years. You should expect bottles in superb condition when bidding in this sale. Almost every bottle in this sale has been purchased direct from the distilleries, independent bottlers or local importers. No secondary market finds here!

As a true lover of Whisky our consignor is happy to share what is one of the most extensive spirits collection Zachys has ever sold in Europe, with over 360 bottles of Whisky from all over world.

Scotch, of course, but bottles from Japan, Sweden and Finland all make an appearance.

Whatever style you enjoy, whether smokey peat, fruity Sherry finish, deep rancio, or barrel strength, you’ll find what you are looking for here.

How about 60+ bottles of Glenfarclas, 30+ bottles of Macallan, a vast range of rare bottles from Highland Park, Springbank, Glenrothes and many other leading Scotches?

And don’t think you’ll have to break the bank, in fact more than a 100 bottles are estimated at £200 and below.

No serious Whisky collection is complete without a decent line up of shuttered distilleries, is it? Very rare bottles of Port Ellen, Rosebank, Brora, Dallas Dhu and Karuizawa are all not produced anymore but all available here.

So please pour yourself a dram, put your bids in and join us live from our Action studio on Monday March 31st 1:00pm BST.
