AUGUST AUCTION ENDING SOON!

With our August Auction drawing to a close, we’re taking a final look at some of the standout lots still open for bidding. The Macallan 30 Year Old Sherry Oak was introduced in the late 1990s and remained the flagship expression of the range long before the arrival of the Fine Oak series. Matured exclusively in sherry seasoned oak casks, it became one of the defining bottlings of Macallan’s modern era, renowned for its rich, classic house style.

This example predates the comprehensive rebranding introduced in 2018 to coincide with the opening of Macallan’s new distillery. Representing the original presentation of the 30 Year Old, it captures an important chapter in the evolution of one of Speyside’s most iconic whiskies.

Released in 2011 to commemorate the 125th anniversary of The Benevolent, this special Glenfiddich single cask also marked 125 years since the laying of the distillery’s foundation stones. Distilled in 1993, it was drawn from Single Cask #29670 and bottled at natural cask strength. Although labelled as a 15 Year Old, the bottling date means the whisky was in fact matured for at least 17 years before release. Limited to just 500 bottles, it stands as a distinctive commemorative release from one of Speyside’s most celebrated distilleries.

Originally reserved for employees across what is now Diageo’s portfolio of distilleries, the annual Manager’s Dram series was bottled in limited numbers at natural cask strength. Each release was selected by the distillery manager from a small number of exceptional casks, offering a unique expression of the distillery’s character. Distilled at Talisker, the Isle of Skye distillery renowned for its maritime character and signature peppery spice, this expression matured for 17 years before being bottled at natural cask strength in 2011.

Another standout release from Diageo’s celebrated Manager’s Dram series, this special Oban bottling was produced in 1991 to mark the distillery’s 200th anniversary. Matured in sherry casks and bottled at natural cask strength, it commemorates two centuries of one of Scotland’s oldest and most distinctive Highland distilleries. Combining the rich influence of sherry cask maturation with Oban’s characteristically coastal style, it stands as a fitting tribute to this historic milestone.

AUGUST 2026 AUCTION IN FULL SWING!

With our August Auction now underway, we’re taking a closer look at another standout lot from this month’s sale. Introduced in 1995, Diageo’s Rare Malts series celebrated the individuality of Scotland’s distilleries through well-aged, natural cask strength releases, with many bottlings coming from distilleries that had already fallen silent. This Millburn 1975 was distilled at the now closed Highland distillery, matured for 25 years and bottled at natural cask strength in 2001. A rare opportunity to experience the character of one of Scotland’s lost distilleries through one of the most respected whisky series ever released..

Originally reserved for employees across what is now Diageo’s portfolio of distilleries, the annual Manager’s Dram series was bottled in limited numbers at natural cask strength. Each release was selected by the distillery manager from a small number of exceptional casks, offering a unique snapshot of the distillery’s character. Distilled at Glen Elgin, a Speyside distillery celebrated for its elegant, fruity spirit, this expression matured for 19 years before being bottled at natural cask strength in 1993.

Distilled in 1998, the final year of production at the now demolished Imperial Distillery, this single cask release captures the closing chapter of a lost Speyside distillery. Matured for 25 years in Refill Bourbon Barrel #100916, it was bottled at natural cask strength by Cask 88 in 2023. Drawn from some of the last spirit ever distilled at Imperial, the release comprises just 200 bottles, each featuring an individually varied label illustrated by Johnathon Freemantle – a fitting tribute to one of Scotland’s vanished distilleries.

The Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Oak has long been regarded as one of the distillery’s defining expressions. Distilled in 1995 and matured exclusively in sherry seasoned oak casks, this release reflects the rich, classic style that has made the range one of Speyside’s most enduring benchmarks. Part of the final generation to carry the year of distillation on the label, it represents an important chapter in the evolution of Macallan’s iconic 18 Year Old.

AUGUST 2026 AUCTION NOW LIVE!

August has arrived, bringing with it an intriguing selection of rare and collectible whiskies. This month’s auction showcases bottles that capture noteworthy moments in whisky history, from legendary closed distilleries to sought-after limited editions, inlcluding this outstanding release from the long-silent Convalmore Distillery. Distilled in 1984 and matured exclusively in refill American oak hogsheads, this remarkable single malt spent an impressive 32 years developing its character before being bottled in 2017 at natural cask strength as part of Diageo’s acclaimed Special Releases. Produced by a distillery whose stills have long since fallen silent, this is an increasingly scarce opportunity to acquire a whisky that beautifully reflects the elegance and complexity for which Convalmore has become so highly regarded.

First released in 1983, the Macallan Anniversary Malt series was created to mark life’s special occasions, with early bottlings carrying vintage dates from 1957 onwards. This 25 Year Old, distilled in 1970, was produced during what many regard as one of Macallan’s finest periods. These releases have become enduring classics, celebrated for the exceptional quality and character that defined the distillery in the latter half of the 20th century.

Originally reserved for employees across what is now Diageo’s portfolio of distilleries, the annual Manager’s Dram series was bottled in limited numbers at natural cask strength. Each release was selected by the distillery manager from a small number of exceptional casks, making every bottling unique to its year and distillery. Distilled at Clynelish, a Highland distillery renowned for its elegant, waxy character, this expression was matured for 17 years before being bottled at natural cask strength in 1998.

While single malt often takes the spotlight, well-aged single grain whisky offers a character all of its own, with decades in oak bringing remarkable depth and elegance. Distilled at Invergordon in 1974, this exceptional single grain spent 47 years maturing in a single cask (Cask #14) before being bottled at natural cask strength by Cask 88 in 2021.

JULY 2026 AUCTION ENDS SOON!

With the auction drawing to a close, this historic Lagavulin is well worth a final look. Released in 1982, this 12-year-old formed part of the pioneering Ascot Malt Cellar series, alongside Linkwood, Rosebank, Talisker and the blended malts Strathconon and Glenleven. Widely regarded as the precursor to the iconic Classic Malts range, the series laid the foundations for one of Scotch whisky’s most celebrated collections, with the 12-year-old later giving way to the now-famous 16-year-old expression. As the first official bottling ever released by the distillery, this is a landmark whisky in Lagavulin’s history.

The end of an era, captured in a bottle! Filled on 16th March 1983, Cask #327 was the final cask laid down before the legendary Speyside distillery Dallas Dhu ceased production for good. This highly sought-after release was commissioned by Historic Scotland (now Historic Environment Scotland) to commemorate the distillery’s rich heritage. While it carries no official age statement, it is widely believed to have been bottled in the mid-to-late 2000s at around 23 years of age. A remarkable bottling that preserves the final chapter of one of Speyside’s most iconic lost (but not forgotten) distilleries.

A standout release from the celebrated Manager’s Dram series, this Blair Athol was selected exclusively for employees across what is now Diageo’s portfolio of distilleries. Each annual bottling was chosen by the distillery manager, who hand-picked the finest casks to create a limited-edition whisky bottled at natural cask strength. Distilled at Blair Athol and matured for 15 years, this exceptional expression was bottled at natural cask strength in 1996. It remains one of the most sought-after releases in the iconic Manager’s Dram collection.

Following on from the previous Manager’s Dram, this Lagavulin edition is another outstanding example of the celebrated series. Distilled at Lagavulin, matured for 11 years, and bottled at natural cask strength in 2013, it showcases the unmistakable character of one of Islay’s most revered distilleries. This exclusive, official bottling is a fantastic opportunity to secure a distinctive chapter in Lagavulin’s modern history.

JULY 2026 AUCTION IN FULL SWING!

Our July auction is well underway and among the hidden gems is this exceptional release from Gordon & MacPhail’s iconic Connoisseur’s Choice range. First introduced by George Urquhart in the late 1960s, Connoisseur’s Choice transformed the whisky landscape by showcasing carefully selected single casks from distilleries across Scotland. The pioneering series inspired generations of independent bottlers and remains one of the most respected names in Scotch whisky. Distilled at the now-closed Pittyvaich Distillery in 1993, this whisky spent 29 years maturing in a single refill American hogshead (Cask #3723) before being bottled at natural cask strength under the Connoisseur’s Choice label by Gordon & MacPhail. With only 159 bottles produced, this is a rare opportunity to secure a beautifully matured whisky from one of Scotland’s lost distilleries, an exceptional addition to any serious collection!

Another exceptional collector’s piece, this incredibly rare Macallan miniature was distilled in 1967 and matured in a single Fino sherry butt (Cask #10469) before being bottled at natural cask strength in 1994. Beautifully presented in a wooden Fine & Rare presentation box from the same vintage, it represents a remarkable opportunity to acquire a scarce and highly desirable piece of Macallan history.

A superbly sherried single cask from GlenAllachie, this 1989 vintage spent an impressive 31 years maturing in a single Oloroso sherry hogshead (Cask #6118) before being bottled at natural cask strength exclusively for the UK market in 2020. Richly matured and beautifully presented, this limited release comprises just 339 bottles – offering collectors and enthusiasts the chance to secure a wonderfully aged expression from one of Speyside’s most sought-after distilleries. This is bottle 339 of 339.

A highly sought-after release, the Manager’s Dram series was produced exclusively for employees of what is now Diageo’s portfolio of distilleries. Each annual bottling saw the distillery manager hand-select the finest casks to create a unique, cask-strength expression in strictly limited quantities. This outstanding example was distilled at Glen Elgin, matured for 19 years, and bottled at natural cask strength in 1993. An excellent opportunity to own one of the most collectible and respected series in Scotch whisky, prized for both its exclusivity and exceptional quality.

JULY 2026 AUCTION NOW LIVE!

Our latest whisky auction is now live, featuring an exceptional lineup of rare, collectible and highly sought-after bottles. One of this month’s highlights is a remarkable release from the lost Speyside distillery, Dallas Dhu. Distilled in 1982 – barely a year before the distillery closed – this rare single cask expression spent 24 years maturing before being drawn from Cask #3739 and bottled at natural cask strength for Historic Scotland. With only 590 bottles produced, it represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Scotland’s whisky heritage.

Another gem among this month’s standout lots is a remarkable vintage Macallan, distilled in 1965 and bottled as a 17 Year Old – one of the celebrated releases that paved the way for the now-iconic 18 Year Old. Matured exclusively in sherry casks, these expressions were produced annually throughout the early 1980s before the inaugural 18 Year Old was introduced in 1985. Early Macallan bottlings of this calibre are becoming increasingly difficult to source, appearing less frequently at auction as demand for the distillery’s historic releases continues to grow. A rare opportunity for collectors to acquire a significant piece of Macallan’s rich legacy.

One of this month’s most distinctive highlights is a rare Oban Manager’s Dram, bottled at natural cask strength in 1991 to commemorate the distillery’s 200th anniversary. Distilled at Oban and matured in sherry casks, this exceptional release was selected from some of the distillery’s finest casks by the distillery manager. Traditionally reserved for employees within what is now the Diageo distillery portfolio, Manager’s Drams have long been revered for their quality, exclusivity and limited availability. Anniversary bottlings such as this are particularly sought after, offering collectors a rare opportunity to acquire one of Oban’s most celebrated releases.

A superb example of long-aged sherry-matured GlenAllachie, this 1989 vintage spent 31 years maturing in a single Oloroso sherry hogshead (Cask #6118) before being bottled at natural cask strength exclusively for the UK market in 2020. Limited to just 339 bottles, this single cask release offers collectors a rare opportunity to secure an outstanding expression from one of Speyside’s most respected modern distilleries.
