It will be interesting to see what the auction prices will be on 100 bottles.

They do appear to have tied themselves to a flavour profile going forward by naming the distillery Milk & Honey.

William where will the online auction be taking place as it will be interesting to watch, with only 100 bottles available prices may get too silly for my interest but you never know.

They haven't revealed any details about the online auction yet, I will update you when I hear. All I know at the moment is that it begins on July 7 and runs for 10 days.

I am sure there will be plenty of interest from around the world for this, it is more for collecting or a very expensive if you like drinking very young whisky.

What is actually so special about this whisky apart from the first bottlings.
Anyone know what the quality is like, what does it taste like?

This was always going to be a popular release with collectors, also investors will be happy to take the risk that this turns out to be a sought after single malt in the future making this batch valuable. Personally I am a drinker so too expensive for such a young whisky just to drink, perhaps I will try some in the years to come when it is priced to drink. Good luck to them.

I noticed the lowest winning bid was Â£403, too rich for me for a young whisky.
