Our 145th auction is progressing well with bids coming in thick and fast, but with the auction close on Sunday night now fast approaching we thought we’d highlight a few special bottles you might have missed.

Glen Grant 1952 60 Year Old The Queen’s Jubilee Gordon & MacPhail

An expression replete with historical import this is the Glen Grant 1952 60 Year Old for The Queen’s Jubilee Gordon & MacPhail.  Distilled in 1952, the year her reign began, this gorgeous amber liquid spent six decades ageing in a sherry cask before being bottled in 2012 to celebrate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee year.  Both the decanter and Swarovski crystal stopper have been designed by Glencairn Crystal with its unique number engraved upon it’s sterling silver collar. The box is made from Scottish Elm, felled a short distance from Holyrood House, and lined with purple Harris Tweed.  One of only 85 bottles released this is your chance to own a genuine piece of British history.

Karuizawa 1965 50 Year Old Single Cask #3037 Elixir Distillers 50cl

As Japanese whisky goes the silent distillery of Karuizawa is about as rare as it gets, and this Karuizawa 1965 50 Year Old Single Cask #3037 50cl from Elixir Distillers is as rare as Karuizawa gets.  Distilled during the swinging sixties this marvelous liquid spent five whole decades in sherry oak before finally being bottled in 2017.  Contained in an understated and elegant bottle this fantastic dram still packs a punch at 58.3% ABV.  Only 318 bottles of this nectar were produced and it would be the jewel in the crown of any Japanese whisky collection.

Linkwood 1956 60 Year Old Cask #20 Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection

Now this a bottle with a long history, the Linkwood 1956 60 Year Old Cask #20 Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection.  Distilled almost seven decades ago this marvelous 1st fill sherry bottling has been specially selected by Gordon & MacPhail and released as part of their hugely respected Private Collection.  One of only 56 vanishingly rare bottles produced this a bottle of supreme pedigree which would enhance even the most exclusive of collections.Some mighty fine expressions there we think you’ll all agree, though with over 7500 bottles in this month’s auction there really is something for everyone.  With the auction closing on Sunday night now is the time to start making your bids if you haven’t already; there is still time to bag that bottle you’ve been coveting so best of luck to everyone.
