Heading Bonham’s whisky department for close to a decade now, Martin Green is no stranger to rarefied bottles. On this poll, he explains „These are the best and rarest expressions from each respective distillery to have been released to market over the last 30 plus years – in some cases they are the most expensive or sought after by collectors“.
Responsible for curating the auction house’s vast sales of unique and hard to find scotches, the next of which, in Edinburgh, is fast approaching in June, his knowledge and viewpoint is beyond reproach “I think when you see the images you will understand why these are not just conventional bottles.“
