It remains to be seen what the new owner will do with the 50.8% whisky. Having been maturing for 24 years, this is a whisky ready to be bottled.

Mulberry Bank's latest online whisky auction ends tomorrow. Leading the estimates is a set of six bottles from the first cask of Kiljerran. It has a £1,500 ($1,955) high estimate.

On Friday, a complete set of the Karuizawa Geisiha series will auction at Bonhams Hong Kong.
