AN ONLINE auction for two bottles of Welsh Whisky has concluded with final bids of £7,300 and £7,200 respectively.
The Welsh Whisky Distillery Company bottles from 1900 were sold off by Peter Francis Auctioneers yesterday (Dec 5).
Founded in Frongoch, Bala in 1889, The Welsh Whisky Distillery Company was the first of its kind in Wales.
It was short lived however and production ceased shortly after the turn of the century. Very few bottles are known to exist and only once previously has one appeared at auction.
One bottle previously could be viewed at St Fagans National History Museum and another one was housed at Penderyn’s Distillery.
The bottles were bought to private collectors and are believed to be staying in Wales.
