OCTOBER AUCTION NOW LIVE!

Almost time to turn the clocks back, so a fitting time to take a look at a few vintage bottlings in our LIVE October auction, like this 1980 Ardbeg Kildalton. With only 1300 bottles produced, this is a rare beast indeed!

Or how about this bottling, distilled in 1977 by the now closed Lowland distillery Inverleven. Aged for 26 years then drawn from a single Cask #3095 and bottled by Duncan Taylor for their Rare Auld range at Cask strength. Bottle 165 of only 168 produced!

Another rare find is this bottling, distilled at the Glencraig Distillery in 1975 then bottled in 1999 by Elgin based independent bottlers Gordon & MacPhail. Expressions like these are a great example of bottlings under the ‘Connoisseurs Choice’ label of distilleries which are unfortunately now closed.

Released in the late 2000’s the Macallan Ghillies Dram celebrates the River Spey, which provides superb Salmon fishing to anglers and is part of the boundary to the Easter Elchies Estate, home of the Macallan Distillery. Named ‘Ghillies Dram’ in recognition of Willie Bremner, ghillie to the beat or stretch of river owned by the Macallan which attracts keen anglers from all over the world, not only to this famous stretch of river but to the distillery too, where they can sample different whiskies from the distillery itself. Funds from the sale of this expression were made available to the restocking of young fish to the river. This lot is accompanied by a watercolour picture of the beat owned by the estate, depicting images of pools known for good Salmon fishing. Bottle number 776 of only 800 bottles produced!
