Just Whisky February Auction *LIVE* – Whisky News
February Auction *LIVE*
Ends Sunday 21st February 8PM (GMT) Just Whisky is proud to present its 27th auction, and in fine fashion, they have some of the oldest bottles that have gone through the doors, including lots from as far back as 1937. In complete contrast to the large selection of old whiskies on the shelves, they have some brand new releases from the likes of Springbank with their Local Barley 16 Year Old, the final instalment, Milsean in the Private Edition Series from Glenmorangie and even Yamazaki with their 2016 Sherry Cask Release. Without further ado – here are some auction highlights! Bidding will end from 8PM on Sunday 21st February.
Yamazaki Sherry Cask – 2016 Release
This is the hotly anticipated 2016 release of Yamazaki’s Award Winning Sherry Cask matured whisky. Famous for the 2013 release which was described as ‘near incredible genius’ by Whisky Guru Jim Murray, the 2016 edition promises more of the same magic. Supply for this bottle was extremely limited, and the rumour mill suggests less than 200 bottles made their way to UK shores.
Johnnie Walker Excelsior
Limited Release Anno: MCMXCVII Blended and bottled by John Walker & Sons, Kilmarnock. Distilled 1947, Double matured in Port seasoned oak casks and released in 1997. A very nice rare bottle from Johnnie Walker.
Talisker 100° Proof (26 ⅔ Fl Ozs)
An ultra-rare bottle from G&M; a fantastic 100° Proof Talisker. Very hard to find for the Talisker collector. We believe this to have been distilled in the late 50’s to early 60’s with bottle code SC295.
