Our currently live 173rd auction closes on Sunday night, leaving loads of time to get your bids in.  We’ve selected a few lots we feel are worth highlighting that you might have missed this month.  Best of luck in the auction everyone.

First we up we have a rather unusual bottling. Kingsbury (also known as the Kingsbury Wine & Spirits Company) was founded in Aberdeen in 1989 by the president of Japan Import System Co. Ltd, Katsuhiko Tanaka, and this little gem is the Speyside 1989 30 Year Old Kingsbury Special Anniversary.  Bottled to celebrate three decades of successful trading under the Kingsbury name, this Speyside single malt has spent 30 years ageing in a sherry butt and given Kingsbury’s reputation for selecting casks it is more than likely delicious too.

Whenever this one crosses my path I just have to highlight it, most definitley a bucket list dram, this is the Laphroaig 1980 27 Year Old Friends of Laphroaig Edition.  Distilled in 1980 and aged for twenty seven years in 5 Oloroso casks before being married together into this tremendous concoction, this bottle really is a beaut.  One of only 94 bottles released for the ‘Friends of Laphroaig’ community, this is also a marvelously rare release for any serious collectors out there.

Another absolute cracker from Islay now, this is the Bowmore 1957 38 Year Old.  Distilled way back in 1957 this extraordinary dram then spent almost four decades quietly slumbering in select oak casks in the now legendary Number 1 Vaults.  Rich and smooth Bowmore doesn’t traditionally pack the high peated punch of other Islay distilleries but the quality of the spirit they produce remains second to none on Islay, or anywhere else for that matter.

And finally, we have something special from the famed sixteen men of Tain, this is the Glenmorangie 1974 Pride 1L.  This bottling is one of only 503 bottles released, and boasts its contents being the oldest of all official Glenmorangie releases worldwide at 41 years of maturation. As if this wasn’t impressive enough, this piece is a collaborative effort with piano craftsmen, Steinway & Sons.  Their influence and contribution can be seen on the immaculate finishing and stature of the display case.  Truly a thing of beauty and a worthwhile addition to even the most exclusive of collections.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.  Best of luck to everyone in the auction, and as always………..don’t lose your bottle.
