I have about 33 bottles of Arran Founder's Reserve that have been in the family since 2001. Now thinking of selling it but not sure of the best way. Anyone had any positive dealings with dealers or auctioneers? Any other tips?
Thanks

Drink it, obviously not all in one go.

Drink it, it's better for you than drugs, especially drugs like MDMA. Yep, E's are very bad

If it's that one - made '95 released to bondholders in 2001 it might not be that collectable, what's it taste like 😉

Yes, that one. Price seems to vary but it's just taking up space in my attic.

Probably better to let it go one at a time rather than flood the market!!

Rare. 33 bottles.

Something not adding up there!

Online prices are all over the place from 25 quid at auction to over 100 per bottle. One site has a case for 4k! Bonkers!

Exactly the same case?? If so I'd be calling them right now - could be some very ambitious pricing there though.

As I assume you are bondholders with Aaranmaybe speak to them as to what it's going for. If that is a 12 bottle case the 4k sounds like it should be top drawer stuff and quite hard to get hold of then again seeing it go for £30 elsewhere means you could turn it around fairly fast!!
