AuctionWhisky.com, a new online whiskey auction operated by Edinburgh-based Scotch whisky retailer TheWhiskyBarrel.com, has been opened for business.
The new portal offers a safe and secure platform for collectors, connoisseurs and professionals to bid for as well as sell rare Scotch and world whiskies.
The new Auction Whisky web site has a zero buyer premium and provides fast shipping to more than 50 countries including the USA, Canada, Japan, Australia and the UAE.
The Whisky Barrel founder Alastair Brown said the pace of demand in 2013 for collectable whiskies from distillers such as GlenDronach, Glenfarclas and Bruichladdich has been frankly remarkable.
"Our retail demand is outstripping supply as the world's thirst for, in particular, the finest vintage single malt Scotch booms, leading to very active third party resale.
"Operated by one of the world's leading international whisky retailers AuctionWhisky.com provides the platform for matching whisky collectors and connoisseurs enabling them to easily and safely bid for and sell their whisky bottles," Brown added.
AuctionWhisky.com accepts payments through VISA, MasterCard and American Express.
