    Very efficient and friendly
    Exceptional service, very quick turnaround when I really needed to sell fast. The team were so professional front start to finish. Highly recommend, great service, great price for my collection, I cannot thank them enough for making us feel confident and comfortable that Littlers were the right choice.
    I have to admit that I did quite a bit of due diligence on Mark and Katy on the basis of the old adage that "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is" as the price they quoted for a couple of pocket watches, after expenses, was double both my expectations and the other offers. But no, I had the full amount in my account earlier than promised. Their level of professionalism and efficiency was outstanding.

    Do You Remember This Story?

    In 2020 we sold a vertical of Macallan 18 year old for Matthew Robson for £44,000!

    The story went viral being covered from the BBC, to India, to the USA.  

    Matthew had been given a bottle every year from his father as a birthday gift and at the time of sale amounted to 28 bottles, all with their original boxes.

    Now We Can Help You

    It was a pleasure to work with Matthew, assisting him in obtaining the highest possible amount for his collection. Now, let us use our experience and connections to assist you.

    “I was looking to sell my whisky collection of 28 bottles of Macallan 18 year old to fund the purchase of my first house, so I got in touch with Mark.

    My father gave me 1 bottle each year for a birthday present so that by the time that I was 18 I would have 18 bottles of 18 year old Macallan. (Yes I’m that guy who was plastered over the media)

    Mark did a great job of getting professional photos taken of them and creating a PR buzz around the collection and I even ended up on BBC breakfast news, lad bible, and various radio stations around the world.

    At one point my story was the second most viewed story on BBC world wide news app for the whole weekend with over 2 million views.

    Needless to say within a day or two of this PR Campaign there was numerous offers.

    I would like to thank Mark for all his work and helping me with everything.”

    The History Of Hibiki Whisky

    The Hibiki brand was founded in 1989 by Suntory to celebrate the company’s 90th anniversary.. Initially, both expressions in the range had age statements – 17 and 21 years. In 1997 another expression was released with the age statement 30 years, followed by a 12-year old in 2009.

    Conventionally, blended whiskies that are given age-statements must display the statement of the youngest whisky in the blend. Therefore, the Hibiki 17-year-old could contain older whiskies, such as a 25-year-old, although this would not be stated on the bottle.

    In 2015, a new expression called Japanese Harmony was released. This expression does not carry an age statement.

    Hibiki whiskies are said to contain at least 10 different malt and grain whiskies from Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita. Many of these whiskies were aged in different types of cask with varying age statements. Each whisky that is included in the blend is tasted by Suntory’s Master Blender, to ensure that each whisky in Hibiki is of a high enough standard.

    The brand is now owned by Beam Suntory, the American subsidiary of Suntory, after Suntory purchased Beam Inc. in 2014.

    As of today, there are only three different Hibiki expressions available. The 17-year-old, the 21-year-old, and Japanese Harmony. The 12-year-old and 30-year old have, sadly, been discontinued. In 2018, rumours started to circulate that the beloved Hibiki 17-year-old was to be discontinued. However, as of 2020, the whisky still remains available on Suntory’s website.
