Our 2025 Update: Key Changes Ahead

Revised Auction Calendar

We understand that the whisky auction market is crowded, with many auction houses and overlapping schedules. This often leads to reduced visibility for sellers and makes it difficult for buyers to secure fair prices. In today’s fast-paced environment, there’s no reason for auctions to last 7–10 days. In response, we’ve revamped our 2025 Auction Schedule. Moving forward, our auctions will take place mid-week, running for just 48 hours. This streamlined format provides ample time to place bids without the extended wait, ensuring a more efficient and engaging experience for all participants.

Revised Commission Rates

Over the past year, we’ve worked tirelessly to maintain our Buyers Commission at 10%, even as others in the industry raised their rates. We’re also proud to offer a 0% Sellers Commission, providing exceptional value to all our sellers. However, as we enter the new year and face external challenges like inflation and rising operational costs, we believe it’s time to adjust our fees to align with industry standards. While we are committed to maintaining a 0% Sellers Commission for all, our Buyers Commission will be adjusted to 12.5% + VAT, effective immediately.

Thank You From Us

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support. These changes are essential for us to uphold the high-quality service you’ve come to expect, while ensuring we continue to offer the finest selection of whisky to our global customer base, all at the most competitive prices.
