DECEMBER 2025 AUCTION NOW LIVE!

Ho ho ho, do we have a small but mighty auction for you this month! With a number of old, limited and rare bottlings, including this older expression of Springbank bottled in the 1970’s. The neck label from this time period would usually indicate the age of the whisky but this is missing, however, extensive research suggests the age of the spirit within the bottle is 8 years old. Expressions of Springbank from this era are becoming increasingly harder to find making this an interesting lot to put on your watchlist!

Another rarity is this Caol Ila which was gifted to Diageo employees in 1996 to mark the 150th anniversary of the Islay distillery, this bottle was distilled in the mid-1970’s, aged for 20 years and then bottled in 1996 at cask strength in limited numbers.

The Macallan Archival Series is inspired by adverts that ran between the 1970’s – 1990’s. Each Folio release is presented with an illustrated hardback book that delves into the history of the adverts, which were originally designed by David Holmes and advert copywriter Nick Salaman. Released in 2017, Folio 2 was the second instalment of the Archival Series, Sherry Cask matured and thought to be around 12 years old, with only 2,000 bottles ever released! The artwork on the label and presentation tin are the work of the artist Sara Midda – many of the works she produced were used in Macallan advertising promotions in the 1990’s to 2000’s.

Manager’s Drams have been made available to workers of the distilleries (in what is now the Diageo portfolio) for many years. Annually released from a single distillery, the manager is tasked to choose the finest casks from their distillery to produce this yearly malt which is then bottled at Cask strength and in limited numbers. This bottling was distilled at Blair Athol, aged 15 years and then bottled at cask strength in 1996.
