Balmenach Whisky Performance Analysis

This is an overview of the Balmenach distillery performance. This is one of a series of posts providing insights into different distilleries’ market performance. Our line of work includes handling large quantities of data, and we thought that sharing some of this might help other whisky enthusiasts to better understand the whisky market drift. This article is updated on the monthly basis, so it could be useful to bookmark it for later use. We will present a dataset of 29116 auction lots from the Balmenach distillery. A small and quaint distillery on the banks of the river Spey Balmenach still uses very traditional machinery and methods. The Balmenach is most notably known for its Connoisseurs Choice bottling by Gordon and Macphail. You can find The Balmenach brief history summary here.           Total Bottles Sold:

10 Most popular Balmenach whiskies to meet on auctions

Method: for this section I took only whiskies that were actually sold, meaning that I didn’t count lots that were put on the auction and didn’t have wining bid due to reserved price not met etc. In practice, this list might look different, given that there are certain percentage of lots that was never sold.
