Scotch Whisky Auctions “The 137th Auction is now live!” – Scotch Whisky News

Our tremendous 137th auction is now live with over 8000 fantastic bottles to choose from.  That’s a lot of scrolling, so to save you some time we’ve highlighted a few special expressions to get you started.


Glenfarclas 1964 50 Year Old Single Cask #4727

This Glenfarclas 1964 50 Year Old Single Cask #4727 was bottled for the Asian market and is a spectacular specimen from one of Speyside’s most celebrated distilleries.  Five whole decades in a sherry butt has imbued this tremendous liquid with a dark, rich colour which is described by George S. Grant the Brand Ambassador as having “heavy sherry power”.  A fitting tribute to a special dram.

Macallan 72 Year Old Lalique Genesis Decanter

This is the quite remarkable Macallan 72 Year Old Lalique Genesis Decanter.  One of the oldest whiskies ever released by The Macallan this tremendous expression is presented in a bespoke crystal decanter made by famed French crystal producer Lalique and inspired by the architecture of Macallan’s new distillery complex.  Distilled in the 1940’s this uniquely rare release is a combination of age, beauty and superior craftsmanship.  Limited to only 600 bottles this is as rare as it is impressive and would make a fine addition to even the most exclusive of whisky collections.

Springbank 1966 Local Barley Cask #481 75cl

The Campbeltown region, once known as ‘the whisky capital of the world’, produces some of the finest single malts in Scotland.  This Springbank 1966 Local Barley Cask #481 75cl is one such dram.  Distilled way back in February 1966 this fine whisky was then held in a single bourbon cask before finally being bottled in February 1997.  The 1966 vintages from the Springbank Local Barley Series have steadily grown in legend and stature in the whisky collecting world, using only local malted barley and bottled at an impressive 55.1% ABV you’ll have a fight on your hands to get a hold of this one this month.

Macallan Fine & Rare 1970 32 Year Old

Finally, this is a rather special Macallan Fine & Rare 1970 32 Year Old.  Bottled in 2002 only 544 bottles of this distinguished old dram were produced from one of only two casks chosen that year to represent the absolute pinnacle of Macallan distilling as they entered the 1970’s.  As with all Fine & Rare releases this bottle represents not only a distillery but a time long since passed and a place of enviable beauty, offering the collector a chance to own a never to be seen again vintage of inimitable character.As well as these top-shelf drams we also have over 8000 other bottles to choose from and with the festive period now fast approaching we’d also like to point out that this auction is the last chance for our customers in the USA and further afield to get their bottles delivered before Christmas.  So if you are in the market for some Christmas drams then this is most certainly the auction to get involved in.
