Scotch Whisky Auctions ‘130th Mid-Auction Highlights’ – Scotch Whisky News
The 130th auction is up and running, and bids are coming in thick and fast. In case you missed them first time around here are a few auction highlights you might have missed.
This fabulous beast is one of the oldest Broras ever released, and certainly one of the most highly regarded. Distilled way back in 1972 this 40 year old dram was Diageo’s most expensive expression at £7,500 when it was first brought to the market in 2014. Seems like a bona fide bargain now compared to today’s market.
Macallan 1967 Sir Peter Blake Anecdotes of Ages ‘Down to Work Limited Edition’
This fantastic 1967 vintage Macallan was made in collaboration with British pop art legend, Sir Peter Blake. Almost 4 decades worth of colloboration between the esteemed artist and Speyside heavyweight Macallan has produced some memorable expressions, the most recent being the Anecdotes of Ages Collection. This particular bottling is the ‘Down to Work Limited Edition’ and the label depicts the era when Macallan rededicated itself to using solely European Sherry Oak to age their whisky. This is an especially rare and exquisite lot.
Glen Grant 1956 65 Year Old Connoisseurs Choice for La Maison Du Whisky
It is rare to see a whisky of this age, this Glen Grant 1956 has spent an incredible 65 years in a first fill sherry cask before being bottled by famed indie bottlers Gordon & MacPhail to mark the 65th anniversary of celebrated French whisky house La Maison Du Whisky. Rich in colour and with a surprisingly high ABV given it’s time in cask, this is a special bottling and would be a welcome addition to even the most exclusive whisky collections.
To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Falklands War, this month we have a Glen Moray 2008 13 Year Old Pauillac Single Cask bottling and a Port Dundas . All proceeds from the sales of these bottles go to the Falklands Veterans Association and the South Atlantic Medal Association.
Bottles as fine as these don’t come around that often so register your bids now before the auction closes on Sunday night. We have thousands more bottles up for auction this month with something to suit every palate and pocket, so delve into the auction before time runs out and find your perfect bottle.
