On rare occasions Christie’s auction house does something that makes me pay attention, like hock pricey bottles of hooch. On November 14, Christie’s will auction off upwards of $2 million worth of wines and spirits, including select bottles of whiskey, cognac, armagnac and champagne, plus the very rare 1964 Bowmore Trilogy.
The Black, White and Gold Bowmore whiskies were aged below sea level at Bowmore’s Islay distillery for 42, 43 and 44 years, respectively. For their trouble, the trio of bottles is predicted to sell for up to $24,000.
Other highlights include a 100 year old armagnac from Baron de Sigognac, estimated at up to $3,000, and a ceramic demijohn of British Imperial Rum sourced from the last remaining stores of the Royal Navy, estimated to go for $4,500 – $6,000.
Opportunities to procure such fine spirits are scarce, so isn’t it time to cash in your kid’s college fund and invest in your future.

Rare whisky collections like the Bowmore Trilogy always attract serious attention from collectors and investors. Comparing auction experiences with whatnot reviews can also help buyers understand how different marketplaces handle authenticity, bidding, and customer service before making expensive purchases. Such high-value sales show why transparency and trust matter in every collecting platform.
Wish I could buy $2 Million Worth of Wine and Spirits, Including Rare Bowmore Trilogy. 🙂 If I was rich, I must have purchased it by now.
