About DramX

DramX is a record of the whisky secondary market: what bottles actually sell for when they come up at auction.

Every figure on the site is a real result published by the auction house that sold the bottle. Nothing is an estimate, a valuation, an asking price or a shop's retail price. Where a house publishes both, DramX carries the hammer price and what the buyer actually paid once that house's fees are added.

Lots are gathered into the bottle they are actually of, so one bottle has one page however differently each house spelled its name.

We hold results from 31 auction houses, the earliest from 2004, and the copy the site reads is rebuilt every night. Every sale listed on a bottle’s page links back to the auction house’s own page for that lot, so any figure here can be checked against the house that published it.

Who it is for

• Collectors working out what a bottle in their cabinet is worth.
• Anybody deciding whether to buy, and at what price.
• Anybody deciding where to sell, and with which auction house.
• Insurers, executors and valuers who need a figure grounded in real sales rather than an opinion.
