A special auction of more than 100 lots of whisky and related items will go under the hammer tomorrow to raise funds for Glasgow’s Children’s Hospital Charity.

The ‘Special Wee Dram’ auction at McTear’s on October 9 will see rare whisky donated by distilleries including Bunnahabhain, Springbank, Nc’nean, LAGG, Bowmore, Balvenie, Ardbeg and Glenfiddich amongst others.

It will sit alongside whisky artwork and other memorabilia being sold in aid of the charity.

Some of the highlights of the sale include a 25-year-old bottle of Balvenie Marriages, which could go for as much as £500 while a 1998 Glenfiddich Distillery Exclusive is estimated between £300 and £500.

Commenting on the auction, Steve McGill, the driving force behind the initiative, said: "Having had great support from the art world over previous years I decided this year to give the liquid artists of Scotland an opportunity to show what they could do to support this amazing charity.

“The response has been great and I'd like to thank everyone who has donated something and the team at McTear’s for their incredible support again.”

As well as the whisky itself, there is also artwork going under the hammer and renowned artists The Connor Brothers have got behind the charity drive with a rare hand coloured studio proof of the print ‘My Relationship with Whiskey’ estimated to fetch between £1,400 and £1,900.

‘A Wee Dram’ by Graham McKean could also fetch a minimum of £250 with valuation up to £350.

Hand blown whisky tumblers, distillery breaks and tours, and rare whisky books will also be on offer, with prices to suit every budget.

All proceeds from The Special Wee Dram auction will go directly to the charity, including the buyer’s premium. 

McTear’s managing director, Brian Clements, added: “McTear’s has long supported the invaluable work carried out by Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, so when we are approached by Steve to help out with the auction, we were only too pleased to help.”

William McGowan, Head of Partnerships & Business Development at Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity: “Together, Steve and McTear’s have created a unique fundraising auction, and we cannot thank them enough for their generosity. Steve has secured a collection of whisky created by many of the liquid artists of Scotland, and we are grateful to each and every one of them for their support.

"Thanks to McTear’s waiving vendor commission, buyers premium and internet surcharge, all proceeds from the sale come directly to the charity, helping to fund life-changing projects and equipment at Scotland’s busiest children’s hospital.”
