Calling once, calling twice and SOLD! 

Today’s conversation takes us through the ins and outs of an auctioneer auctioning – no not rare art pieces or jewellery, but bottles of whisky. 

Founded in 2015 by two brothers, our guest Whisky Hammer is a family run whisky auction service based in North East Scotland. 

The firm said it hosts monthly auctions dedicated to whisky and other fine spirits, attracting over 200,000 buyers and sellers from every corner of the globe. 

At these auctions, Whisky Hammer said it auctioned off a wide range of whiskies, both bottles and casks. The company also noted that it achieved the world record for the highest value cask ever sold at auction. 

Whisky Hammer is an interesting company to look at because it is apparently backed by private equity investors over in Hong Kong. According to online website Drinks International, the firm and its sister company Still Spirit had in 2021 sold a 49 per cent stake to Hong Kong’s whisky investment group Rare Whisky Holdings. 

But how far has Rare Whisky Holdings’ involvement in the firm helped it tap further growth or changed its direction for the future?

Ownership structure aside, it is also worthwhile to look at Whisky auctioneers with whisky increasingly seen as a form of alternative investment.

Broadly speaking, whisky prices are falling right now. In Knight Frank’s 2024 Wealth Report out in March this year,its Luxury Investment Index fell 1 per cent over the year pulled down by falling values in Whisky. But what will this mean for supply and demand of whisky bottles and casks, and what will this mean for auctioneers like Whiskey Hammer?

On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Daniel Milne, Managing Director of Whisky Hammer.

Looking forward to the Formula 1 night race in Singapore this weekend?

When Formula 1 was preparing for the first Singapore Grand Prix 16 years ago, many were not convinced that a night race on a city track would ever work.

Today, a quarter of the 24-race Formula 1 calendar takes place under lights. And many Formula 1 races have added elements Singapore included from its beginning. Some even drew direct inspiration from this event.

But who's responsible for lighting up the night race in Singapore? Roberto Grilli, General Manager of DZE Asia has been lighting our city up for the races since the very first Singapore Grand Prix in 2008.

But what led Roberto to make motorsport history, illuminating the world’s first-ever night race?

On Culture Club, Roshan Gidwani speaks with Roberto Grilli, Global General Manager of DZE Asia to find out.
