Unicorn Auctions, Chicago’s first year-round online rare spirits auction house, successfully held its first auction in February, selling over 95% of their available lots. Unicorn Auctions aims to bring liquidity into the secondary whisky market through their easy-to-use app and website, along with global shipping to buyers, sellers, and collectors. Unicorn Auctions founders, AJ Heindel and Cody Modeer are restaurant industry vets and avid whisky collectors. Working on both the buying and selling side of bars and restaurants for many years, AJ and Cody saw an opportunity to create a marketplace for people who love to collect whisky but have a hard time finding what they're looking for. Unicorn Auctions is the premier spirit-focused auction house in the US, based in Chicago. With a unique customer focus, extensive industry background and an online/app-based platform, Unicorn Auctions is truly one of a kind in the world of spirits.
