The 163rd auction is now well underway, but there is still plenty of time to get involved.  From our experience the auction usually ends sometime after 10pm on Sunday night, leaving you ample time to secure that bottle you have your eye on.  We have some really interesting bottles in this month, so here are a few you might have missed.

Dalmore 1966 40 Year Old 75cl

First up is an absolute belter from a distillery which has grown its profitable reputation in the secondary market in recent years, this is the Dalmore 1966 40 Year Old 75cl.  Produced under the watchful eye of Scotch whisky stalwart Richard Paterson this tremendously well-aged expression was distilled way back in 1966 and has spent four decades ageing to perfection.  Smooth and rich this really is dram to behold.

American Single Casks

We’ve been lucky enough to be exclusively selling the first batch of releases from a new American indpendent bottler, American Single Cask, over the last few auctions.  With all six bottlings now released we have three of each available in the auction this month.  These are some really interesting single cask drams from some lesser known US distilleries, and have been highly rated within the industry.

Bowmore Black 1964 42 Year Old 

A midweek highlight reel wouldn’t be complete without something special from Islay and this Bowmore Black 1964 42 Year Old most certainly fits the bill.  First of the fabled Trilogy of the 1964 Bowmores this Black Bowmore was distilled on the 5^th November 1964 and matured within five Oloroso sherry casks. After slumbering patiently for fourty two years 827 bottles of this marvelous liquid were finally released in 2007.  A favourite with collectors this brilliant Bowmore is certain to turn some heads this month.

Nikka Taketsuru 35 Year Old 75cl

Finally we have a Japanese whisky with some distinctively Scottish roots, the Nikka Taketsuru 35 Year Old 75cl.  Arguably the “grandfather” of Japanese whisky, Masataka Taketsuru learned his trade studying Organic Chemistry at The University of Glasgow in 1918, before apprenticing at Longmorn, and laterally Hazelburn distilleries.  This beauty contains some of the oldest whisky from Yoichi and Miayagikyo stock and was originally only for the Japanese market.As always, we have a wide range of drams with something to suit everyone, so now is the time to get moving picking out your own personal favourites for your watchlist.  We’ve also made some amendments to our terms and conditions which can be viewed here.  Best of luck to everyone in the auction, and as always………..don’t lose your bottle.Thinking of selling your bottles?
