Well-known throughout Ireland and across the globe for the team’s extensive knowledge on local pub memorabilia and collectibles, the Cavan-based company has become the ‘go to’ auction house for those seeking Irish rarities, including extraordinary bottles of local Irish whiskey.
The upcoming sale features several bottles of Irish whiskey as well as an authentic range of quirky pub memorabilia. One particular lot that whiskey collectors should watch out for is an exceptionally rare bottle of George Roe Irish Whiskey.
Likely to sell at between €6,000 and €12,000, this Geroge Roe 16 Year-Old release was produced for export to the US in the 1930s.
