Only a month after the whiskey was avaiable only to Members of The Whisky Club New Zealand, our Club exclusive Bushmills The Christmas Causeway 2012 Vintage, First-Fill Oloroso Full Maturation has sold at a European auction site for approximately a whopping $1297.60 – nine times the price Members paid.
The first ever Christmas whiskey from Bushmills, this 100% Oloroso sherry cask matured, bottled at 51.6% ABV cask strength received a staggering 71 bids at auction. This was the first Bushmills offered to NZ Members. Following a trend of previous Whisky Club and Bushmills collaborations, these collaborations are highly sought after around the globe.
The first collaboration with the distillery in 2022 went under the hammer for €1350 (that’s around $2000). Members in Australia got it for just $135.
Similarly, our Bushmills 2012 Burgundy Cask sold at auction for €1350 (that’s around $2000), and Members paid just $135.
Then came the Bushmills 2010 Double Moscatel Cask. Not only was it crowned The Whisky Club's Whisky of the Year 2024, it was also shortlisted for Best Irish Single Malt and awarded 98/100 points and Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Comp '24.
Similarly to its predecessors, the Bushmills 2010 Double Moscatel Cask also went under the hammer at auction for huge prices – one fetching € 630.00 ($1114.44). Others have gone for €360 ($636.82).
