Record-breaking Perth auction website toasts growing global interest in whisky

A Perth-based whisky auction website that sold a bottle for £825,000  aims to become the global market leader for sales of Scotland’s national drink.

Whisky Auctioneer made headlines around the world when a rare Macallan 1926 Valerio Adami 60-year-old achieved the record hammer price earlier this year.

Iain McClune set up the operation just seven years ago after a career at whisky merchant Royal Mile Whiskies in Edinburgh.
