Scotch Whisky, in particular, is a highly collectible spirit and some desirable offerings have recently sold for over one million dollars…for a single bottle!
Until now there has been no available online database or single source of significant spirits pricing information. The SPIRITS PRICE FILE fills that need.
Two generations of the Edgerton family with a combined total of more than 50 years preparing wine appraisals originally created this database for their use in their appraisals of spirits collections or donations. You can now have a copy for your own use.

The list is alphabetical by producer or brand name and most searches take ten seconds or less. A one-year subscription is $99 US dollars. The database will be updated no less frequently than quarterly.
