March Auction *LIVE*
Ends Sunday 20th March 20.00 GMT
So far March has been an extremely busy month for us all at Just Whisky and it seems like just a few days ago our February auction came to a close! The quality of bottles to appear through the doors this month is just incredible. We have hundreds of bottles to bid on this month and we’re excited for the auction to begin. There is a particularly nice selection of Karuizawa bottles on offer this month. Included in that, we are lucky enough to auction one more Wealth Solutions 1964 Karuizawa, the incredibly rare (1 of 24) 5th Exclusive Nonjatta ‘Ghost Series’ bottling of Karuizawa showcasing four decades of the distillery’s past in a single bottle. Others include the highly decorative 35 year old Harbour City Exclusive bottle you see below and many more. Bidding starts at 6PM on Friday 11th (GMT) and comes to an end from 8PM on Sunday the 20th March. Here is a small selection of interesting Lots to whet your appetite …
Karuizawa 35 Years Old 1980 – Harbour City Exclusive
A fantastic release from Karuizawa from spirit distilled in 1980, which has a fabulous reputation among Karuizawa aficionados. This particular release comes in a beautiful piano black presentation case adorned with a woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi which is simply stunning.
The packaging adds a real sense of drama to this bottle, but the liquid inside is reputedly even more impressive. Limited to just 212 bottles and exclusive to Harbour City Hong Kong, it was bottled in 2015 from a single sherry butt (cask no. 4376) at a heady 60.1% vol.
Arran 18 Years Old 1997 – White Stag First Release
The tasting panel of Arran White Stags have chosen cask no: 1997/737 as a first ever official bottling of the White Stag community of the Arran friends worldwide. Distilled on the 23rd May 1997 and bottled on the 6th June 2015, this cask has been slumbering in Lochranza for 18 years in an outstanding example of a Sherry Hogshead matured Arran single malt.
This is an excellent start to the series of casks chosen exclusively by White Stags on behalf of the whole community.
Hanyu Ichiro’s Malt 1988 – ‘Cards’ Queen of Clubs
This is the Queen of Clubs from the highly collectable Cards series. Distilled in 1988 then matured until 2008 firstly in a Hogshead barrel and latterly in a a New American Oak Hogshead before bottling in 2008 by Sasanogawa. No Chill Filtering. No colouring. Imported by Number One Drinks Co. Ltd.
