Scotch Whisky Auctions “The 134th Auction is now Live!” – Whisky Auction News
Our 134th auction is now up and running with a veritable feast of special drams available. To ease your scrolling burden we’ve taken the liberty of picking out a few highlights from this month’s offerings.
Ben Nevis 1926 63 Year Old 75cl
Described by the distillery as the “peak of their achievement” this Ben Nevis 1926 63 Year Old 75cl is a bona fide collector’s item and will be highly coveted. After a whopping 63 years in cask the angels had greedily devoured most of the whisky by time it came to be bottled, leaving a miserly 96 bottles. This, however, has only increased the exclusivity of this marvelous dram from the rarest of casks.
Macallan 52 Year Old 2018 Release 75cl
Another old-timer this one, the Macallan 52 Year Old 2018 Release 75cl. The rather flowery description from Macallan exclaims this expression to be “an outstanding example of how perfect harmony can be created through the mastery of wood and spirit”, and who are we to disagree? An extraordinary dram for sure, and a credit to any collection.
Highland Park 21 Year Old Single Cask ‘Best Spirit in the
An unusual one now, the Highland Park 21 Year Old Single Cask ‘Best Spirit in the World’ Celebration Bottling. This one-off expression was bottled in celebration of Highland Park 18 Year old being awarded best spirit in the world in 2005 and given to Highland Park staff. This particular bottle was originally gifted to ex-Highland Park Whisky Maker Max McFarlane himself, as evidenced by the accompanying hand-signed letter. One for the Orkney afficionados amongst us.
SMWS 27.40 Springbank 1964 31 Year Old
Finally, a rare find from the vaults of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, the SMWS 27.40 Springbank 1964 31 Year Old. A maiden showing at auction for us this one, and a mighty fine bottle it is too. Distilled before the moon landing and bottled over 3 decades later this is a magnificent example of whisky-making from arguably Campbeltown’s biggest hitting distillery.We’re lucky to have some absolutely fantastic bottles in the auction this month, but don’t despair if you’re looking for something that won’t break the bank as there are plenty of bargains to be had too. Happy bidding everyone and best of luck in the auction!
