Their reputation in the global whisky auction market aligns strongly with our commitment to providing world-class storage and client services. This collaboration brings added convenience and confidence to collectors across the region.”
The partnership enables 13 Degrees to expand its service offering, supporting whisky enthusiasts with bottle consignments, valuations and client consultations, while enhancing access to Whisky Hammer’s global online auction platform.

The Hong Kong hub marks Whisky Hammer’s second international expansion in under a year, following the launch of its European operational base in the Netherlands.

Daniel Milne, Co-founder and CEO of Whisky Hammer, said: “Opening in Hong Kong is a natural next step for the business following our expansion into Europe last year. Partnering with 13 Degrees allows us to offer a seamless, locally supported service to clients across Asia and to continue building on the service we offer globally.
The expansion comes ahead of the planned launch of our new iOS and Android app, where we will further streamline the customer experience and connect our growing network of operational hubs.”
