10 Most popular Caol Ila 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.
