Taste the Whiskies That Inspired Whisky Auctioneer

We’re excited to announce a special tasting event in London this September, built around the whiskies that shaped Whisky Auctioneer.

Taking place on Friday 19th September 2025 at One Moorgate Place, this tasting will showcase six exceptional old and rare single malts; bottles that not only reflect our passion for whisky but also represent a style of production that’s increasingly hard to find today.

Each bottle has been selected for its outstanding quality, character, and historical significance. These whiskies were produced during an era of longer fermentations, more manual processes and a different approach to distilling, offering a rare opportunity to taste styles of whisky that are often talked about but rarely poured.

This is the sentiment that got Whisky Auctioneer started in the first place: a real love for whisky and the belief that amazing bottles should be accessible, shared and enjoyed by everyone. 

The tasting will be hosted by Whisky Auctioneer and Angus MacRaild, one of the world’s foremost authorities on old and rare whisky. Guests will be guided through each dram in a relaxed, conversational format, with the chance to hear first-hand what makes these whiskies so remarkable, appreciate their quality and understand why they’re looked back on with such genuine nostalgia and admiration.
