October Whisky Auction Ends Sunday 23rd
Just a reminder the 35th Just Whisky monthly auction ends soon. Check out some of the highlights …
Glen Grant 60 Years Old 1952 – G&M Queen’s Diamond Jubilee
The 1952 Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Glen Grant expression, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail, was laid down in oloroso Sherry casks four days before Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1952 and bottled on 2 February 2012 to mark Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee. The rare expression is bottled in a Glencairn decanter, topped with a Swarovski crystal stopper and packaged in a box made from Scottish elm sourced from Holyrood house. It comes with its own Harris Tweed bag. Only 85 bottles were made of this highly collectable whisky.
Ardbeg 21 Years Old – Committee Only Edition 2016
Sold out within minutes online during its September 2016 release, this is a long-awaited 21-year-old from Ardbeg. From the makers themselves: “Ardbeg Twenty One. A rare glimpse into Ardbeg’s precarious past. A shining example of its unwavering quality. This momentous bottling contains whisky distilled during some of the most precarious days of Ardbeg’s past, when only a handful of casks were set aside. Sumptuous and soothing, melding pepper, rye and Ardbeg’s famous peaty smoke, this is a golden dram born from adversity, determination and dedication”.
Full details on this release are thin on the ground, but it’s rumoured to have been limited to around 4,000 bottles for Committee members only.
