The 131st Auction is well and truly under way – Auction Whisky News
As our 131st auction progresses we thought we’d take the opportunity to pick out some curiosities that you might otherwise have missed.
An unusual bottling from Ardbeg this one, a 33 year old marriage made in heaven of a 1974 bourbon cask and a 1975 sherry cask. The result is a unique and coveted expression, released in 2015 to celebrate Ardbeg’s bicentenary.
Mortlach 1968 Private Collection Gordon & MacPhail
This marvelous looking liquid was distilled at Mortlach, the so-called ‘Beast of Dufftown’, before man had even been to the moon! Bottled from a First Fill Sherry Hogshead as part of celebrated Indie bottler Gordon & MacPhail’s Private Collection, this would be a welcome addition to any collection.
Ben Wyvis 1972 Munton & Fison 75cl
An unusual and exceptionally rare bottle this one. Distilled at Ben Wyvis in 1972, the distillery itself was only operational for 11 years, closing permanently shortly after in 1977. This whisky was distilled using malts solely from esteemed malting company Munton & Fison, and was bottled for them too. This lot is a genuine piece of whisky history.
The auction will draw to a close on Sunday night, so make sure to get bidding now to secure your most coveted bottles this month.
