Scotch Whisky Auctions ‘180th Auction Update’ – Scotch Whisky News
Our 180th auction is progressing smoothly, but have no fear with the auction not closing until Sunday night you still have plenty of time to get your bids in. With that in mind we’ve picked a few more bottles to highlight that you might have missed this month.
An exciting release this one from a well-respected member of the BenRiach stable, this is the Glenglassaugh 1963 51 Year Old Single Cask #3301. The Glenglassaugh distillery has had a turbulent history since being founded by James Moir in 1873; opening and closing no less than 7 times in 125 years. Always popular with blenders, single malt releases were limited for most of its very irregular working life. Housed very handsomely in a stylish bottle and presentation case this is a very special dram, aged in a single bourbon barrel for no less than 51 years!
And now for something distilled even earlier, this understated yet mightily distinguished dram is the Talisker 1955 Secret Stills Gordon & MacPhail. The Secret Stills range was a step in a different direction for one of Scotland’s most celebrated indies Gordon & MacPhail and adds an element of mystery to their bottlings by simply listing the region in which the distillery is located. This ‘Isle of Skye’ was the first release in the range and hails from Skye’s famed distillery, Talisker.
Next up we have a fabulous bottling from a Highland distillery which is much-revered for the quality of their output, this is the GlenDronach 1993 Hand Filled Cask #2463. While GlenDronach’s core range is certainly not to be sniffed at, if you want to try something a little bit special their Hand Filled distillery bottlings are invariably delicious. Only available from the distillery gift shop (and here, of course) these bottlings are unique and showcase GlenDronach’s inimitable style.
And finally, we have a finely aged whisky from one of the most collectable names out there, this is the Macallan 1993 32 Year Old Kingsbury. With well-aged Macallan prices, even on the secondary market, being what they are many people are looking to indie bottlers for better value, and this 32 year old certainly ticks all the boxes. One of only 221 bottles and drawn from a single 1st Fill Pedro Ximenez Hogshead this is yet another excellent release from Kingsbury.
As always, we have a wide range of drams with something to suit everyone, so now is the time to get moving picking out your own personal favourites for your watchlist. Best of luck to everyone in the auction, and as always………..don’t lose your bottle.
