PRIVATELY OWNED WHISKY CASKS UP FOR AUCTION
Three privately owned casks of whisky, currently owned by a Yorkshire businessman, are coming up for auction in North Yorkshire as part of Tennants Auctioneers’ Whisky and Fine Wine Sale on 17th September. Bought by the vendor a little over 25 years ago, the casks have been sitting in bond at Deanston Distillery, Perthshire, aging with distinction over the years. Their sale offers buyers an excellent opportunity to own a truly wonderful product.
Leading the selection is the Macallan 1989 Single Malt Scotch Whisky Hogshead, on offer with an estimate of £80,000-120,000 plus 10% buyer’s premium. Filled in 1989, the cask has recently been re-gauged, and the cask will currently yield approximately 120 70cl bottles of 32-year-old Macallan. Tennants Auctioneers’ Whisky Specialist William McNab describes the whisky as being the colour of Chardonnay with a rich gold core, being very smooth on the palate with spicy high notes, a subtle and sophisticated nose with warm and fruity aromas, and lingering dry oaky tones to the finish.
Also on offer are two Hogsheads of 1995 Tobermory Single Malt Whisky, each offered with an estimate of £25,000-35,000 plus buyer’s premium.

LAWS Whisky House is quickly becoming one of the country’s most prominent new craft distillers. Not only have they been able to create an exciting array of excellent whiskies, but they’ve done so following a not altogether common motto in our industry, “there are no shortcuts.” We respect that kind of commitment to quality, and the proof is in the pudding. While their entire line of whiskies offers something special, it is the San Luis Valley Rye that offers the most distinctive and distinguished experience. The powerful flavors of the high-protein heirloom varietal paired with the dry maturation regimen that their Denver warehouses offer creates a unique and truly delicious flavor profile unparalleled by any other craft or legacy distiller. So, when we were offered this OLDER cask strength version of one of our favorite craft ryes, we absolutely had to have it. This awesome barrel was distilled on December 28th, 2015 and bottled just under 5.5 years old on April 30th, 2021. Bottled at cask strength of 58.9% ABV without chill filtration.

This delicious single barrel of San Luis Valley Rye is one of the very best craft ryes we’ve yet to try. There’s a huge influx of craft distillers offering rye of various quality and character, but LAWS has found a formula that’s as delicious as it is unique. Using the heirloom varietal of rye grown by farmers in south central Colorado, their Straight Rye is derived from an equal blend of malted and unmalted rye. This semi-wild varietal, now being cultivated exclusively to produce this particular whisky, offers character unlike the industrial ryes grown in Canada and Germany for the rest of the industry. Expect a stupendous mixture of rich salted caramel, a complex bouquet of mints and licorice bark on the nose. On the palate, a vibrant mixture of sweet, earthy oak, bold cacao, tangy green herbs, and burnt Seville orange peel. It’s truly incredible what these guys have managed to achieve in such a short time, and we couldn’t be prouder to be partnered with them.
