If the interminable wind and rain is getting you down, fear not, for our 152nd auction is now live and offering you the opportunity to drive away those winter blues with the help of old John Barleycorn!

We have a fantastic selection of bottles to choose from this month, with some rarely seen SMWS bottlings a particular highlight.  So, without further ado here are a few fine bottles to ease you into this month’s auction.

Macallan 52 Year Old 2018 Release

Let’s start things off with a superlative expression, the Macallan 52 Year Old 2018 Release.  An undoubtedly special Macallan this expression was released in 2018 and was described by the distillery as an “outstanding example of how perfect harmony can be created through the mastery of wood and spirit”. Hand-signed by Whisky Maker Sarah Burgess this is a rare and exclusive bottling of unmatched quality.

SMWS 116.1 Yoichi 1986 16 Year Old

As previously stated we have a lot of really interesting SMWS bottlings in this month, and the most prized is often the first bottling from a new distillery much like this SMWS 116.1 Yoichi 1986 16 Year Old.  This 16 year old cask strength dram comes from the Japanese distillery Yoichi, and weighs in at a mightily impressive 56.6% ABV.  For collectors the .1 is often the most prized so expect there to be competition if you are bidding on this one.

Macallan 1946 52 Year Old Select Reserve with Certificate & Keys

We started with a fantastic 52 year old Macallan, so why not finish with one, this is the Macallan 1946 52 Year Old Select Reserve with Certificate & Keys.  The predecessor to the hugely respected Fine & Rare collection the Select Reserve series was released in the 1990’s and showcased a new sleek design which has since become a Macallan hallmark.  With over five decades of ageing under its belt this is a rarity of exquisite grace and fine craftsmanship.

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.

We are live!

Auction closes from 8pm (GMT) Tuesday 6th February

Macallan – 37 Years Old – 1964 – Fine & Rare

A stunning bottling of Macallan which was distilled in 1964. The natural beech colour and rich, perfumed character strongly indicates this was matured in first Fill American Oak Sherry Cask.

Filled on 5th September 1964 and aged for 37 years in a single hogshead cask #3312 which was selected as the best current expression of that year. Left to lie until it was then bottled in 2002 at natural cask strength with no chill filtration. Allowing this whisky to get all of its colour naturally from the 37 years it spent in the cask.

Glenfarclas – 50 Years Old – Bicentenary of John Grant’s Birth

This special bottle from the famous family-owned Speyside distillery was distilled on the 30^th September 1955 and was matured over a long 50-year period before being bottled in 2005 to celebrate the Bicentenary of the birth of John Grant, who had purchased the distillery in 1865. Only 110 of these elusive bottles were released and they don’t show up often, so be sure to head online now and bid while you can!

We strive for continual growth and improvement in the service we offer and to make our auctions the best they can be we have made a small increase to our lot fee.

We have always aimed to be the most affordable option for selling your bottles and are still committed to this.  As such we haven’t raised our lot fee in the last 2 years, however in order to provide the best possible service going forward we are making a small increase from £6 to £8 per bottle from the 152nd auction onwards.

Unlike almost all other auction houses we are still committed to not charging commission to sellers who wish to sell their bottles with us, so even with this small fee increase we believe we are still the most attractive proposition for sellers in the current market.

Thank you for continuing to choose Scotch Whisky Auctions and all the best for 2024.

Submission Form & Label

The 151st auction is now past the midway point, and with the amount of bids flying in there must be a fair few of you trying to soothe those post-festive blues with a special tipple.  Here are a few more highlights in this month which you might have missed.

Springbank 1966 Local Barley Cask #480 75cl

A bottling with legendary status this is the Springbank 1966 Local Barley Cask #480 75cl.  The Local Barley casks distilled in 1966 have been highly prized for a while now, and with good reason.  This particular beauty was aged solely in Bourbon wood and spent a mightily impressive three decades maturing into the fine specimen you see before you.

Ardbeg Special 1965 39 Year Old with Mini in Museum Case

A very special bottling this one, this is the Ardbeg Special 1965 39 Year Old with Mini in Museum Case.  This terrific expression is proudly displayed in a beautiful glass museum case. A very rare vatting of two exceptionally old casks, it is accompanied by a mini and a cleaning kit; so that you might have your whisky and drink it, whilst keeping it in pristine condition at the same time!

GlenDronach 1972 40 Year Old Single Cask #710

By this point I’m sure we’re all well aware of the quality of these releases, this is the GlenDronach 1972 40 Year Old Single Cask #710.  Many a sherried whisky drinker has had a revelatory experience with GlenDronach’s single cask releases, such is the depth of flavour and character they are imbued with.  This particular beast was distilled way back in 1972 and spent four whole decades in a single Oloroso sherry butt.

Glenesk 1971 30 Year Old Silver Seal Decanter 75cl

The word rarity is bandied around often in whisky circles but this, the Glenesk 1971 30 Year Old Silver Seal Decanter 75cl, certainly fits the bill. This one of one bottling from the now silent Glenesk distillery comes in a wonderfully crafted circa 1920’s crystal decanter with hallmarked silver top seal. It also comes with a certificate of authenticity and a crystal stopper. A truly unique release from the iconic indie bottler.We still have plenty of time left in the auction but now is definitely the time to get moving picking out your own personal favourites and making bids.  Best of luck to everyone in the auction, and as always………..don’t lose your bottle.
