JUNE 2018 AUCTION IS NOW LIVE!
The 1966 Bouquet is the glittering supernova that is created when two key elements of whisky history collide at just the perfect moment in time. Regarded by many as the one of the best, if not the best, whiskies ever bottled, it is rare that one of these absolute gems is brought to market.
Karuizawa produced outstanding whiskies, many receiving international acclaim. They have released almost 300 single casks that are becoming increasingly rarer and rarer as demand soars. We have a great selection currently available including an array of the 1981 35 year old releases.
Overholt 1909 Rye Whiskey 1 Quart / Pre-Prohibition
Overholt Rye was first produced in the early 1800s, with this bottle appearing over a century later. Bottled just before Prohibition, this 1909 vintage was apparently a reserve of the Mellon family, who stockpiled it for fear of running out in the wake of the Prohibition legislation banning all production and consumption in 1920.
Bowmore 1964 – Black, White and Gold
All three from “The Trilogy” series are featured this month. The Black Bowmore is certainly an icon of whisky and was followed by slightly older Gold and White that add Bourbon cask maturation to provide a comparison to the Oloroso casks used in the Black expression.
Macallan 1997 Exceptional Cask #9182-01
The very first cask from Macallan’s new ‘Exceptional Single Cask’ range, bottled in 2017 exclusively for the United States and parts of Asia. This range takes its name from a number of single cask bottlings Macallan released during the 1990s, often described as some of “the greatest Macallan of them all.”
