DECEMBER 2025 AUCTION ENDING SOON!

It’s almost a wrap for our December auction but there is still time to bid for your favourite bottles, like this delightful bottle of Clynelish, aged for 17 years and then bottled at Cask strength in 1998 as part of the Manager’s Dram series.

Or how about this early expression of Caol Ila, which was bottled by Bulloch Lade under license from DCL. 12 year old Caol Ila was more commonly available under the Flora & Fauna label in the 1990’s before the distillery unveiled it’s core range in 2002 and so this is an interesting bottle.

The 1988 Glasgow Garden Festival was a major event, held on a 120-acre site on the south bank of the River Clyde, from April 26 to September 26, 1988. It attracted 4.3 million visitors and featured hundreds of gardens and pavilions, using derelict dockland to showcase the city’s regeneration. The festival is considered pivotal in reinventing Glasgow’s image, leading to a cultural renaissance and boosting tourism. This offering was distilled at Bowmore Distillery in the late 1970’s, aged for 10 years and then bottled to commemorate this momentous event.

Officially released in the beginning of October 2023, the Hearach derives It’s name from the Gaelic word Na Heardh translating to a person from Harris. The 1,916 bottles produced for this momentous inaugural bottling signifies the total number of people living on the Island. Bottle number 1,048 of only 1,916 bottles produced.

These are only a few of the old, limited and collectable bottles featured in our December 2025 Auction, to view more wee gems visit clickwhiskyauctions.com. Register to bid. Remember, you’ve got to be in it to win it! Auction ends Sunday 21^st December from 8pm GMT.

Warm wishes also go out to the team at Whisky Intelligence for their amazing, continued support, for which we are very thankful. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2026!

DECEMBER 2025 AUCTION NOW LIVE!

Ho ho ho, do we have a small but mighty auction for you this month! With a number of old, limited and rare bottlings, including this older expression of Springbank bottled in the 1970’s. The neck label from this time period would usually indicate the age of the whisky but this is missing, however, extensive research suggests the age of the spirit within the bottle is 8 years old. Expressions of Springbank from this era are becoming increasingly harder to find making this an interesting lot to put on your watchlist!

Another rarity is this Caol Ila which was gifted to Diageo employees in 1996 to mark the 150th anniversary of the Islay distillery, this bottle was distilled in the mid-1970’s, aged for 20 years and then bottled in 1996 at cask strength in limited numbers.

The Macallan Archival Series is inspired by adverts that ran between the 1970’s – 1990’s. Each Folio release is presented with an illustrated hardback book that delves into the history of the adverts, which were originally designed by David Holmes and advert copywriter Nick Salaman. Released in 2017, Folio 2 was the second instalment of the Archival Series, Sherry Cask matured and thought to be around 12 years old, with only 2,000 bottles ever released! The artwork on the label and presentation tin are the work of the artist Sara Midda – many of the works she produced were used in Macallan advertising promotions in the 1990’s to 2000’s.

Manager’s Drams have been made available to workers of the distilleries (in what is now the Diageo portfolio) for many years. Annually released from a single distillery, the manager is tasked to choose the finest casks from their distillery to produce this yearly malt which is then bottled at Cask strength and in limited numbers. This bottling was distilled at Blair Athol, aged 15 years and then bottled at cask strength in 1996.

These are only a few of the old, limited and collectable bottles featured in our December auction, to view more wee gems visit clickwhiskyauctions.com. Register to bid. Remember, you’ve got to be in it to win it! Auction ends Sunday 21^st December from 8pm GMT.

Welcome, willkommen and bienvenue one and all to our now live 174th auction!  We have a tremendous array of drams available this month, a bevy of beauties if you will, including a rather excellent ‘buy-it-now’ option.  With so much to choose from we thought we’d give you a leg up and highlight a few interesting bottles to get your watchlist moving.

Our first highlight is something you really won’t want to miss, particularly for collectors of Japanese whisky, this is the Hakushu ‘First Class’ for Moegi no Mura.  This vanishingly rare Hakushu was bottled in 2024 in collaboration with the nearby Moegi Village (Moegi no Mura) tourist complex, and is one of only 4 bottles made available for public sale!  Bottled at 51% this incredibly exclusive dram is a marriage of five Hakushu vintages from 1977, 1988, 1989, 1990 and 2006.  We are unlikely to see to see this up for sale again anytime soon so if this one catches your eye you might need to act fast.

Next up we have not one but two incredible bottles from a Speyside behemoth, the Glenfiddich 1958 Private Vintage Single Cask #8642 and Glenfiddich 1959 Private Vintage Single Cask #3934.  This really was the distillery that started the whole single malt boom and these two drams distilled at the tail end of the 1950’s are a terrific example of why this distillery is so revered. Both bottled in 2006 these are whiskies of the absolute highest quality with an understated elegance of design rarely matched in the whisky world.

Every month in our highlights there has to be the obligatory ‘bucket list drinker’, and this month that honour goes to this Springbank 1967 28 Year Old 75cl.  Pungent, oily and marvellously delicious older Springbanks have attained near mythical status among many serious whisky aficionados over the years.  Distilled in 1967 this rich-looking liquid then spent the best part of three decades ageing before being wrapped up in this classy and elegant little bottle you see before you.

And finally, we have a bottle of something special available as a ‘Buy-It-Now’ option this month, this is the Highland Park 20003 22 Year Old Integrity Malts.

Integrity Malts is an independent whisky bottler founded in 2024 by two whisky enthusiasts united by a shared obsession with authenticity, flavour, and honesty in whisky making.  They only release whisky that is non-chill filtered, bottled at natural cask strength, and without artificial colouring, just as nature intended!

This is a finely balanced dram, starts with a rich heavy punch of stone fruit which develops into a sweet caramel finish with just a slight hint of peat smoke.  We have 116 bottles available, so fill your boots.As always we have an enormous selection of drams to suit every budget on offer this month, so now is the time to delve into this month’s offerings and start building that watchlist.

Best of luck to everyone in the auction, and as always………..don’t lose your bottle.

Old Pulteney Polaris, the exceptionally rare 47-year old single malt, achieves £62,500 at Distillers One of One Charity Auction

Whisky marks the first exciting announcement from Old Pulteney as the iconic distillery prepares to celebrate 200 years of industrial craftsmanship in 2026

International Beverage has revealed that Old Pulteney’s oldest-every whisky release, Polaris – a one-of-a-kind 47-year-old single malt – has achieved a value of £62,500 at the Distillers One of One Charity Auction.

Exceeding its highest pre-sale estimate (£26,000 – £40,000) and raising vital funds for The Distillers’ Charity, the sale of this remarkable whisky represents a momentous milestone for this iconic distillery as it prepares to celebrate its 200th anniversary in 2026.

Taking its name from the steadfast North Star, Old Pulteney Polaris was expertly crafted in partnership with local artisans and pays homage to Old Pulteney’s home in Wick on the far north coast of Scotland. Designed and created by Tain-based glass merchant, Glasstorm, this exceptionally rare whisky is presented within a striking 1.5L hand-blown blue glass bottle featuring inciso cuts that evoke the crashing waves of the North Sea. The art piece is encased in dramatic Caithness Slate from Norse Stone, representing the enduring cliffs found on the windswept coastline that surround the Maritime Malt’s hometown.

Further enhancing the rarity of this one-of-a-kind masterpiece, copper and silver have been masterfully integrated by local jeweller, Lucy Woodley. A hidden copper disc at the base of the sculpture has been carefully reclaimed from an Old Pulteney still, offering the winning bidder an unprecedented opportunity to own a piece of Old Pulteney’s heritage.

Distilled and aged at Old Pulteney’s home in Wick, this exceptionally rare 47-year-old single malt was rested in American oak ex-bourbon casks for four decades before an extended period of refinement in a carefully selected first-fill Spanish oak butt for an additional seven years. With an ABV of 43.6%, the result is a whisky of remarkable maritime character, elegant complexity and unrivalled depth.

Sarah Burgess, Master of Whisky Creation at International Beverage said: ‘Aged for 47 years, Old Pulteney Polaris is the distillery’s oldest release to date and pays tribute to Old Pulteney’s hometown of Wick. A celebration of the people and craftsmanship that shape the Maritime Malt, we were extremely proud to play our part in raising such an impressive sum for The Distillers’ Charity and the Youth Action Fund. Congratulations go to everyone involved in its creation, the Distillers One of One team for staging another momentous day for the Scotch whisky industry, and the new owner of Polaris who owns this very special piece of Old Pulteney history.’

The biennial Distillers One of One is one of the most prestigious events in the whisky world, bringing together rare, one-off creations from leading distilleries. This year’s auction, held on 10th October 2025 at Scotland’s Hopetoun House, offered bidders the only opportunity to own the truly exceptional Polaris showpiece (1.5L), complete with a 100ml tasting sample.

Proceeds from the sale of Old Pulteney Polaris will go directly to The Distillers’ Charity, with a proud focus on its principal beneficiary, the Youth Action Fund. This initiative supports projects across Scotland that provide education, training and employment opportunities for disadvantaged young people, ensuring this extraordinary whisky has an impact far beyond the walls of the distillery.

LEGACY DE FORGE TO AUCTION E.H. TAYLOR, JR. SINGLE BARREL, PROCEEDS BENEFIT WHITE OAK INITIATIVE

The auction supports White Oak Initiative’s mission of sustainable oak forest management and white oak regeneration

LOUISVILLE, KY (November 24, 2025) – Legacy de Forge, a new global e-commerce platform powered by BlockBar for purchasing some of the world’s most coveted bottles, today announces it will host an online auction offering the opportunity to purchase one rare barrel of Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey. The winning bidder will join the Sazerac Barrel Select team for a private barrel selection experience, with proceeds supporting the White Oak Initiative’s (WOI) vital work to protect and restore America’s white oak forests.

Founded in 2017, WOI was established as an advocacy group and catalyst for sustainable oak forest management, with a focus on white oak regeneration. This work is critical to the bourbon industry, as not only tradition, but federal law requires that bourbon be aged in new, charred oak barrels, with white oak being the most common. In support of this mission, Sazerac aims to honor bourbon’s heritage while helping safeguard its future by auctioning a single barrel of Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. – a tribute to Taylor’s enduring legacy of integrity and innovation.

“Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr.’s pioneering vision continues to inspire and guide our industry today,” said Elizabeth Wise, Chair of the White Oak Initiative and Chief Global Government Affairs Officer for Sazerac. “Much like white oak saplings that grow straight and tall to eventually be transformed into bourbon barrels that add flavor and color to our uniquely American spirit, Taylor had foresight and purpose. Through this auction, we’re honoring Taylor’s standards for excellence while supporting the White Oak Initiative’s critical work to ensure bourbon’s future.”

The auction winner will receive:

• A private barrel selection experience at Buffalo Trace Distillery for the winner and seven guests;
• Personalized bottles from the selected Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. single barrel, along with the barrel itself;
• A VIP, behind-the-scenes tour of Buffalo Trace Distillery;
• A one-night stay in Stagg Lodge for the winner and seven guests, including a dinner with a private chef.

“The future of America’s bourbon industry is inseparable from the future of its white oak forests,” said Jason Meyer, Executive Director, White Oak Initiative. “This auction celebrates that connection and the shared commitment of partners like Sazerac to ensure white oak continues to thrive for generations to come.”

The auction began on November 21 at 10am ET. All bids must be received by 11:59pm ET on December 1. Bidding begins at $20,000, and those participating may bid as many times as they want. Those looking to participate in the auction must have a registered account on Legacy de Forge. To create an account and participate, please visit legacydeforge.com/release.

NOVEMBER 2025 AUCTION IN FULL SWING!

Our November 2025 Auction is well and truly in full swing, so it’s a great time to take a look at some of the old, rare and limited bottlings on offer this month, including this full set of Macallan Editions 1-6. First launched in 2015, the Macallan Edition Series expressions were intended to showcase Macallan’s diverse Oak Cask styles and their approach to whisky making. The series focuses on the different characteristics of the Oak Casks used in Macallan’s whisky maturation.  This set of six bottles includes Edition 1, presented in the extremely rare wooden box, rather than the standard brown box.

Distilled at Oban Distillery, this 16 Years Old was aged in Sherry Casks and bottled at Cask Strength in 1991 to mark the 200th anniversary of the distillery as part of the hugely popular Manager’s Dram series.

This expression of Laphroaig was bottled in honour of Bessie Williamson, who began her career at Laphroaig as a typist in 1934, before eventually becoming the first female distillery manager and owner in the 20th Century, making the distillery a global success. This well-aged limited edition expression was matured in American Oak hogsheads and refill Casks and is presented in a wonderfully crafted display box, giving it the appearance of a book.

Linn House whisky refers to a series of exclusive, limited-edition blended Scotch whiskies from Chivas Brothers, named after Linn House – the company’s private guest manor near the Strathisla Distillery. These whiskies are bottled at cask strength and are made from high-aged malt and grain whiskies, originally reserved for honoured guests but now also available to the public through the brand’s luxury experiences. Although there is no distillation date, the age of the whisky suggests that it would have been distilled at the latest in 1970, aged for 35 years and then bottled at Cask Strength in 2005.

These are only a few of the old, limited and collectable bottles featured in our November 2025 Auction, to view more wee gems visit clickwhiskyauctions.com. Register to bid. Remember, you’ve got to be in it to win it! Auction ends Sunday 23^rd November from 8pm GMT.
