The offerings in this sale are from a single owner, whose Scotch, like his wine, is the best of the best. From legendary bottlings of Bowmore to selections from the storied Fine & Rare Collection of Macallan, this brief, curated auction of Scotch will be an event unlike any other Zachys has ever done. Spirits have actually always been an integral part of our auctions for years: from rare Scotch like the Bowmore and Macallan in this sale, to shuttered distilleries like Port Ellen, to collectible Cognac, Chartreuse, Armagnac, Pappy Van Winkle, and the highlight of many a Hong Kong auction: Japanese Whisky, Zachys waded into the spirits space long ago and never looked back. This auction is followed by another amazing selection of spirits on April 17th in Hong Kong that you're not going to want to miss!

Zachys has watched as the international stage for spirits has grown over the past five years, and even more so in the past year. More and more collectors are clamoring for the best of the best. So, you spoke, we listened, and now we have a major offering of spirits in this sale out of Rotterdam, and on May 15th in New York—and that doesn’t count what we’ve got lined up for the fall…stay tuned!

This live-streamed event at 8am EST / noon GMT / 1pm London / 8pm HKT to make sure that everyone who wants to is able to bid. If you have any questions, or would like to bid, please email us at Bid@zachys.com.
