Retailer Master of [Malt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bladnoch) is hosting a whisky auction for two bottles of Wolfburn Inaugural Special Release to raise funds for Malaria No More UK.

The Wolfburn Inaugural Special Edition is part of the first release of single malt from Wolfburn, which is a distillery in the northernmost part of Scotland. The highest current bid on the bottles is £950.

Master of Malt will be donating all funds raised over £200 after taxes to the charity Malaria No More UK. Just £5 is enough to buy, deliver and hang one mosquito net for a family at risk of contracting Malaria in Africa. Master of Malt's last [charity auction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highvalue-charity-auction) for the [Yamazaki](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tsukuriwake) Sherry Cask 2016 raised £2,800 for Malaria No More UK.
