SEPTEMBER AUCTION LIVE; TAKE A PEAK

Our September auction is live and packed full of incredible bottles we know you’ll want to get your hands on!

Summer may be over but the team here at Whisky Auctioneer are committed in making sure that our impressive auctions never end.

Here are just a few of the bottles on offer this month…

Johnnie Walker The Directors Blend Set 2011

Only given to very important Diageo types, these sets were never available at retail. With very few bottles making it to the secondary market, collectors have fought to get hold of this essential part of Walker history. There were six bottles in the complete Director’s blend range, this is the full set.

Macallan 1945 Fine and Rare

A fantastic example of old Macallan. The Fine and Rare series was designed to represent the very best the distillery had to offer, dating back as far as 1926.

Highland Park 1941 25 Year Old / St Magnus Label

Distilled during WW2 and bottled by James Grant & Co. Carrying the famous yellow ‘St Magnus’ label this is a true gem from Highland Park.

Sestante Imported for Carato 8 x 70cl / Van Gough Collection

In 1993 Sestante paired up with Carato to release a set of eight stunning vintages from some of Scotland’s greatest distilleries. These vintages are becoming increasingly hard to find, to have them all in one place is extremely special. Each bottle’s label depicts a piece from Van Gogh’s famous collection.

John Begg Blue Cap Circa 1940s/50s

An absolutely spectacular bottling of Blue Cap by John Begg. This blend was from Royal Lochnagar and named after the distillery’s founder John Begg.

Clynelish 14 Year Old / Royal Marine Hotel Circa 1960s

An extremely rare 14 year old Clynelish bottled exclusively for the customers of the Royal Marine Hotel in Brora from a cask kept in the cellar of the hotel.

RARE PORT ELLEN ANNUAL RELEASES LEAD BONHAMS WHISKY SALE IN EDINBURGH

Port Ellen annual releases 2001-2016. Estimate: £23,000-25,000 

A rare and highly desirable complete set of Port Ellen annual releases from 2001-2016 inclusive, leads Bonhams Whisky Sale in Edinburgh on Wednesday 4 October.  The 16 bottles, all in their original cartons, are estimated at £23,000-25,000.

The whiskies were distilled either in 1978 or 1979 and released in limited numbers every year from 2001.

Bonhams Whisky specialist Martin Green said, “The Port Ellen distillery on Islay ceased production in 1983, and bottles from the programme of annual releases rarely come to auction. Being able to offer all 16 releases is very unusual, and I anticipate a great deal of interest from collectors.”

The sale also features a crystal bottle of Port Ellen-36 year old-1981 bottled in 2017. Drawn from a single cask as part of Diageo’s Casks of Distinction programme it is estimated at £4,500-5,000.

Other highlights of the sale include:

• Glenfarclas-60 year old: one of only 360 bottles produced this unique 60 year old comes in a crystal decanter and is estimated at £10,000-15,000.
• The Macallan-1961: in its own wooden presentation case this is one of 379 bottles and is estimated at £8,000-10,000.
• Glenfiddich-47 year old-1964: bottled in July 2011 under bond in Scotland for J & J Hunter Ltd., Balmoral Road, Belfast.  In a presentation case, this is bottle 005 of 24 and is estimated at £4,000-6,000
