Mulberry Bank Auctions Pre Sale Tasting – Scotch Whisky News
Mulberry Bank Auctions is pleased to announce its second pre-sale tasting. Taking place at our west end auction rooms in Glasgow on Tuesday the 27th of March at 7.30pm. We will be showcasing a stunning line up of 8 incredible spirits. Apart from such single malt gems as a Glen Grant 30 year old distilled in the 1930s and an incredibly rare Glendronach 1970, we will also have a Caroni Rum from the 1920s and last, but certainly not least, an incredible 1870, pre-phylloxera Grand Champagne Cognac. And as if that wasn’t enough there will also be a selection of fine Scottish cheeses, courtesy of local cheesemonger George Mewes, to sample as well. All in all it should be the tasting event of a lifetime. If you thought the first tasting was good, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Tickets are strictly limited and sold on a first come first served basis. They are priced at £50 per head and are available directly from our auction house by calling 0141 225 8181.
