Topping the sale were 9 bottles of Romanée Conti 1990 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti sold for HK$3,500,000. A 6-bottle offering of Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux 1985 Henri Jayer more than doubled its estimate to bring HK$2,000,000.

Large formats were another highlight of the sale, commanding top prices, such as a methuselah (6 litres) of La Tâche 1985 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti sold for HK$812,500. A collection of Henri Jayer from the 1970s to 1990s was also on offer, led by 12 bottles of Echézeaux 1989 Henri Jayer for Georges Jayer, achieving HK$562,500.

Adam Bilbey, head of Sotheby’s Wine & Spirits, Asia and Europe, said, “phenomenal results across the board this season not only further cements our market leadership in Asia, but is also a clear affirmation of the loyalty of our clients across the region and the world. No doubt the star of the show was the Black Bowmore Archive Cabinet, a truly exceptional one-of-a-kind work marrying whisky and design which stopped visitors in their tracks during our sales preview.

“From wine to spirits, we are seeing an increasing number of passionate younger collectors with sophisticated tastes entering the fray, willing to go up against more established collectors in their pursuit of the very best the market has to offer. We look forward to an exciting single-owner sale in May with details to be announced soon.”

Jonny Fowle, Sotheby’s spirits specialist, added, “The exceptional result for The Black Bowmore Archive Cabinet is a fitting testament not only to the concept and attention to detail of what is an extraordinary work of art, but also to the esteem with which collectors revere Black Bowmore.

“Steeped in history, these five whiskies transcend the concept of collectible whisky, their richly nuanced character and undeniable quality having attained legendary status over the years since their first release. I have been lucky enough to try several of these whiskies and their reputation as icons of the spirits world is truly deserved.

“The winning bidder can now lay claim to owning the ultimate celebration of Black Bowmore – and the Bowmore Distillery – in the knowledge that its sale has raised funds for the community on Islay.”
