This auction raised more than £300,000 to aid charities battling plastic pollution, including our main benefactor Plastic Oceans, a charity dedicated to raising awareness of the impact that single-use plastic waste is having on our world's oceans.

The auction itself took place in November, but the bottles were on display at The Whisky Show to examine before bidding and to give fans a chance to see some of the world's rarest bottles on display.

Sensational whiskies from distilleries across Scotland sat alongside a magnum of the legendary Caroni rum from Trinidad and a 50 year old whisky from Japan’s highly sought-after Karuizawa distillery – one of the oldest ever releases from this iconic producer.
