• Yellow Spot 12 Year Old Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey (750ml)

($109.99, WE94)

One of the most in-demand Irish whiskeys of the past decade is back on our shelves. This 12-year-old powerhouse is “the big mama of Irish whiskey,” as David Othenin-Girard puts it, the marriage of bourbon, sherry, and Malaga wine casks resulting in “one of the richest Irish whiskies on the market,” according to David’s colleague Andrew Whiteley. When the opportunity came to load up our warehouse on this one-of-a-kind, reference-point whiskey, we jumped at it. Any collector or fan of top-tier whiskey should do the same, as we’re not sure when or how often we’ll have this opportunity again.

134th Closes This Sunday

Our 134th auction is now well underway and bidding has begun in earnest.  Here are a few fantastic bottles which might have slipped under your radar this month.

Glen Grant 1959 Samaroli

This is a fantastically rare bottling of Glen Grant 1959 from celebrated Italian independent bottler Samaroli.  Samaroli bottlings are prized in general, but older examples like this are always coveted. Rich in colour and highly rated by whisky afficionados internationally this bottle is definitely one to keep your eye on in the current auction.

Glenlivet 80 Year Old Gordon & MacPhail Generations with Sample Set

With thousands of bottles every month in our auctions we’ve seen it all, but even for us it’s rare to get a bottle as special as this.  The oldest whisky ever produced when first released this fabulous Glenlivet was distilled way back in 1940 and spent a remarkable 80 years in cask before finally being bottled.  Expensive sure, but a thing of rare beauty and unrivalled exclusivity.

Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey was named “Whiskey of the Year”

The Teeling Whiskey Company is proud to announce its latest accomplishment – Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey was named “Whiskey of the Year” at the inaugural New Orleans Spirits Competition, presented by Tales of the Cocktail.

The New Orleans Spirits Competition (NOSC) is an international spirits competition bringing wider recognition to fine spirits among top-flight bartenders worldwide, NOSC was founded in 2022, to recognize and celebrate the most distinguished spirits being produced around the world today. Held this year during Tales of the Cocktail’s 20-year anniversary, the inaugural competition was open to all classes of spirits, domestic and international — whiskey, gin, brandy, baijiu, vodka, rum, agave spirits, liqueurs – as well as the emerging class of non-alcoholic spirits. More than 500 entrants sent samples for evaluation.

Blackpitts is a triple-distilled peated Irish single malt, the first-of-its-kind entirely distilled and bottled in Dublin. Blackpitts takes its name from the famous Dublin neighborhood, honoring the heritage and legacy of the Teeling Whiskey Company. Matured in both first-fill Bourbon barrels and Sauternes casks, Blackpitts carries notes of savory BBQ smoke accompanied by grilled pineapple and salted caramel sweetness.

Teeling Whiskey is the world’s most awarded Irish Whiskey, proud to have received nearly 375+ international awards, including World’s Best Single Malt at the 2019 World Whiskies Awards for the 24-Year-Old – the first Irish Whiskey to receive this accolade. Released in 2021, recent wins and industry recognition for Blackpitts include: World’s Best Irish Single Malt, No Age Statement at the 2021 World Whiskies Awards, Top 20 Spirits of 2021 by Whisky Advocate Magazine, and Double Gold at the 2022 SFWSC
