The band is the spread between the cheapest and dearest bottle sold each month; the line is the mean. The vertical scale is logarithmic — on a linear axis a single £48,000 lot flattens two decades of ordinary trade into the baseline. Figures are in GBP regardless of the auction’s own currency, and count only lots that actually sold. Source: Whisky Hunter.
