BONHAMS TO SELL UNIQUE GLENFIDDICH WITH GOODWOOD MOTORSPORT EXPERIENCES IN AID OF RACE AGAINST DEMENTIA

High demand expected from whisky collectors and motor sports fans

One of the three decanters of Glenfiddich Goodwood-42 year old-1979 to be offered in aid of Race Against Dementia. Low Estimate: £6,500

Bonhams Whisky sale in Edinburgh on Tuesday 7 December will offer three unique decanters of Glenfiddich 1979 each accompanied by a different motorsport experience at the Goodwood Estate. All the proceeds will go towards Race Against Dementia (RAD), the charity established by Scottish racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart and the official charity partner of the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard. RAD raises money to fund breakthrough and innovative dementia research. Low estimate at £6,500.

The auction at Bonhams is a significant moment in the long-term collaboration between luxury global brands, Glenfiddich and Goodwood. The connections between the two can be traced back to 1836 when a chance inheritance handed Gordon Castle and its vast estate reaching down to the River Fiddich to the fifth Duke of Richmond. The Dukes of Richmond and Gordon would travel from Goodwood to the Glenfiddich Lodge for their annual Scottish holiday and the long-standing tradition lives on in today’s collaboration. These unique bottles of unrivalled whisky mark an exciting new step in the Glenfiddich-Goodwood partnership.

The three bottles of Glenfiddich Goodwood 1979 have been exclusively drawn by Glenfiddich Malt Master Brian Kinsman from a hand-selected cask, which has laid untouched in Warehouse 8 for 42 years. The whisky is bottled in three hand-blown Baccarat crystal decanters, one for each of Goodwood’s most-loved motor racing events, the Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival and the 79^th Member’s Meeting.

The winning bidders of the three unique bottles will also enjoy a VIP experience at one of Goodwood’s headline motorsport events in 2022: the 79th Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport (April), Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard (June) and Goodwood Revival (September). These exclusive experiences will include trackside hospitality, paddock tours, thrilling passenger rides, a private whisky tasting, and much more.

Glenfiddich Global Brand Director, Claudia Falcone, said: “Today’s very special run of just three bottles is one of the many ideas that has come from close collaboration between Goodwood and Glenfiddich. It draws on our shared history and Scotch whisky’s emergence as a collectable asset-class to create a lasting legacy-donation for the important research undertaken by Race Against Dementia. We are delighted to contribute to Bonhams’ whisky sale and continue to provide a contemporary twist to connections first established over two-hundred years ago.”

The Duke of Richmond said: “I am thrilled this exciting collaboration has brought together the Goodwood Estate and Glenfiddich to create three exquisite bottles of whisky, raising money for our incredible Festival of Speed charity. Thank you to our estate partner Bonhams, for hosting these very special lots within their auction. We look forward to welcoming the successful bidders to our headline motorsport events next year.”

Bonhams Head of Whisky in Edinburgh, Martin Green, said: “We are very pleased to be hosting the sale of these unique bottles in aid of such an important cause. The opportunity to acquire whisky of such rarity and quality and to experience a VIP day out at Goodwood will I am sure appeal to collectors and motorsport fans alike and we are anticipating a great deal of interest.”

Sir Jackie Stewart said: “I’m so delighted that this auction will raise vital funds for Race Against Dementia. We are enormously grateful to Bonhams, Glenfiddich and Goodwood for working together to create these very special lots – each with a wonderful bottle of whisky, an unforgettable motorsport experience and an original photograph taken and signed by the well-known motorsport photographer, Rainer Schlegelmilch. Good luck to everyone who is bidding. One in three people born today will die with dementia. It is a disease which, as I know only too well, devastates families. The money raised will help us in our mission to find a cure for this terrible disease.”

ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST IN DEMAND BOTTLES OF JAPANESE WHISKY TO GO UNDER THE ‘WHISKY HAMMER’

 — Yamazaki 55 Year Old expected to attract global attention at online whisky auction —

A Scottish whisky auction firm will showcase the super-rare Yamazaki 55 Year Old in its auction, starting Friday 19 November 2021 – an iconic release which has proven incredibly sought after and notoriously difficult for enthusiasts to find for purchase.

The single-malt blockbuster is the world’s oldest and rarest Japanese whisky and has been described as a ‘unicorn amongst whisky collectors’.

First unveiled to the world in 2020, the Yamazaki 55 Year Old was limited to just 100 bottles which were sold exclusively in Japan via lottery. Over a year later, a second and final release of 100 bottles were made available to other markets around the world.

Online whisky auction business Whisky Hammer was started in 2016 by brothers Daniel and Craig Milne who are originally from Macduff, near Speyside, an area renowned for the production of Scotch whisky.

Daniel believes this is an incredibly unique opportunity for a whisky collector to bid on one of the most sought after whiskies in the world. He said: “We couldn’t be more excited to offer such an exceptionally coveted bottle of whisky.  The Yamazaki 55 Year Old is arguably the most in-demand collectable bottle of Japanese whisky in the world today – anyone who collects rare whiskies knows about Yamazaki and wants it. It is a unicorn amongst whisky collectors worldwide, particularly those with an interest in Japanese whisky.

“Only a few have appeared in world auctions in recent times, however the lot available through Whisky Hammer is even more desirable for serious collectors as it’s the first of its kind to appear at auction free from having the original owner’s name engraved on the glass and box, which featured in the first 100 bottles sold exclusively in Japan.”

This whisky is a blend of single malts, with components distilled in 1960 and aged in Mizunara casks and some distilled in 1964 and aged in White Oak casks. One of the rarest and most expensive oak species in the world, whiskies aged in Mizunara are highly prized. Mizunara wood is native to Japan and deeply-rooted in the country’s history. Scarcer than European and American oak, Mizunara is very expensive and hard to cooper due to its porous nature.

Aged at a stunning 55 years old, the 46% ABV whisky is presented in a crystal bottle with the word ‘Yamazaki’ engraved in sandblasted calligraphy featuring real gold dust and lacquer on the age marking. The bottle’s opening is wrapped in handmade Echizen washi paper and bound with a Kyo-kumihimo-plaited cord, a traditional craft from Kyoto. Each bottle comes in a bespoke box made from native Mizunara wood and coated with Suruga lacquer.

Whisky Hammer hosts monthly auctions, dedicated to whisky and other fine spirits, allowing buyers and sellers from every corner of the globe to participate. It has auctioned a wide range of whiskies, both bottles and casks, with auctions selling in excess of £1 million under the hammer each month.

Whisky Hammer re-located in 2019 to a new, purpose-built facility in Aberdeenshire, which is also home to Still Spirit – a whisky shop, e-commerce site and dram bar offering over 100 rare whiskies to taste while overlooking the beautiful Scottish countryside.

Yamazaki 55 Year Old will go live and open for bids on Whisky Hammer from 7pm (GMT) on Friday 19 November to Sunday 21 November. To register visit HERE

Notes:

Background information on Yamazaki Distillery

Yamazaki, in southwestern Kyoto at the foot of Mt. Tennozan. With his unwavering preference for the high-quality water and natural environment vital in whisky-making, founder Shinjiro Torii selected the land of Yamazaki from among several candidate sites.

The area around Yamazaki Distillery has long been famous for its exquisite natural water, which is even mentioned in the Man’yoshu, the ancient anthology of Japanese poetry. The “Rikyu no Mizu” (water of the imperial villa) selected by the Ministry of the Environment as one of Japan’s one hundred best natural mineral waters, continues to bubble forth today.

For the process water used at Yamazaki Distillery, this pure and high-quality groundwater, nurtured slowly over eons, is used.

Surrounded by abundant nature, the unique terrain, where the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu Rivers meet, is the ideal moist and humid environment for the aging of whisky: Yamazaki is indeed a whisky-making utopia.

Yamazaki began production in 1924 and in early years produced both malt and grain for Suntory’s blends. In 1984 Yamazaki released its first 12 year old single malt – the beginning of an admirable market for today’s highly reputable Japanese single malt whiskies.

In 2003, the Yamazaki 12 Years Old single malt whisky produced at Yamazaki Distillery became the first Japanese whisky to win the gold medal at the ISC (International Spirits Challenge)-a highly authoritative spirits competition in the world. Suntory has continued to win awards for its whiskies, earning global recognition for Japanese whisky.

ONLINE BIDDING HERE

LONDON, 10 November 2021 – Online bidding opens today on The Distillers One of One sale, ahead of the live auction at Barnbougle Castle outside Edinburgh, Scotland on Friday 3 December 2021. For the first time since the announcement earlier this year of a six-year partnership between The Distillers’ Charity and Sotheby’s to host three biennial auctions under the name The Distillers One of One, the contents of the inaugural sale are now being unveiled in full. In total, the auction will present 42 lots of ultra-rare and unique Scotch whiskies and experiences, ranging in estimates from £1,000 upwards to £500,000 – all to be offered without reserve.

The highest value lot in the sale is a Talisker Cask of Distinction 1978, donated by Diageo and selected on account of its outstanding quality (est. £350,000-500,000). The 43-Year-Old cask of still-maturing Talisker single malt Scotch whisky is paired with a cask-end that has been turned into an original work of art by acclaimed Scottish artist and Turner Prize nominee Callum Innes – revealed here for the first time. Once the successful bidder chooses to bottle the cask, they will become the sole owner of one of the world’s rarest and most highly respected whiskies, with dedicated packaging featuring the artwork of Callum Innes, a first for Casks of Distinction.

Also newly revealed is the striking, hand blown black glass vessel housing 1.4l of the first ever 51 Year Old released by Bowmore along with a 100ml tasting sample, taking its inspiration from the terroir of its island home on Islay. This exceptionally rare and entirely unique single malt, matured in a barrel from 1970, is an encapsulation of time, with over half a century of craftsmanship, quality and character embedded in its genesis and story (est. £100,000-180,000).

A recent addition to the line-up is The Glencairn Ruby Tribute Blended Scotch Whisky. This Ruby encrusted decanter contains a one of one whisky blended by Richard Paterson – The Dalmore’s Master Blender – using contributions from some of the world’s most revered master blenders. All component whiskies of this blend were matured to in excess of 18 years and the final blend uniquely captures a true moment of whisky history (est. £5,000-10,000).

A one of one bottling of Littlemill Testament – incorporating stone from the original distillery and set in a unique case with hand blown 18th century glassware – is the distillery’s oldest release to date, with the liquid taken from a single distillation date of 4th October 1976. From this liquid, 250 numbered bottles were released, however a further four bottles were retained to create unique one-off editions that integrate either slate, glass, wood or stone from the original distillery into the release (est. £10,000-16,000).

Proceeds from The Distillers One of One auction will benefit the Youth Action Fund, which has been created by The Distillers’ Charity to transform the life chances of 16 to 25-year-old people in Scotland, empowering them to create positive change in their lives and communities. To achieve this, the trustees of Distillers’ Charity commissioned the social enterprise, Inspiring Scotland to undertake a detailed scoping report. They have curated, on behalf of the Distillers’ Charity, a small portfolio of charities for the Youth Action Fund, including:

Aberdeen Foyer, a charitable organisation supporting people towards independent living, learning and work.

The Alcohol Education Trust (AET), which works across the UK to keep young people safe around alcohol.

ENABLE Scotland, which delivers a range of support services across Scotland, including the ENABLE Works service which provides employment and skills support, assisting people with disabilities or other challenges into employment.

Street League, which uses the power of sport to support young people living in some of the UK’s most disadvantaged communities into work.

A full list of lots with estimates is attached.

The Distillers: One of One sale will begin at 13:30 GMT on 3 December.  Online bidding starts today, 10 November.

About The Distillers One of One

Launched in 2021, the Distillers One of One is a biennial series of auctions of Scottish whisky in aid of disadvantaged young people in Scotland.  Led by The Distiller’s Charity, the philanthropic arm of The Worshipful Company of Distillers, and in partnership with Sotheby’s, the Scotch Whisky industry has gathered together to support philanthropy. Participating distilleries are donating ultra-rare whisky and experiences for sale at auction aiming to raise in excess of £1 million during the initial 3 December 2021 auction.

In order to help transform the life chances of young people in Scotland post pandemic, The Distillers’ Charity  has created the Youth Action Fund. The proceeds from the Distillers One of One auction will be disbursed from the fund to a number of charities that focus on empowering Scotland’s young adults to create positive change in their lives and communities. Sotheby’s will also donate a portion of their buyer’s premium from the auction to The Distillers’ Charity.

About The Worshipful Company of Distillers

The Worshipful Company of Distillers (The Distillers) is an historic City Livery Company with a proud history and 21st century relevance. Established originally, to monitor and regulate commercial distilleries within a 21-mile radius of The City of London, The Distillers have changed with the times. Still at the heart of the distilling industry the focus is now very much on philanthropy and fellowship.

Today, the principal activity is to support relevant charitable causes, underpinned by giving back amongst the Livery, recognising the value of time and talent as well as money. Beyond this philanthropic scope, The Distillers is at the heart of the spirits industry, by inspiring the craft, understanding and enjoyment of distilled products through industry championship and fellowship.

From its formation as a corporation by Royal Charter in 1638, The Distillers were raised to the status of Livery Company in 1672, the 350th anniversary of this is in 2022. There are 110 Livery Companies in The City of London who play an active role in the life of The City.

THE GOLDEN PROMISE: EARLIEST KARUIZAWA WHISKIES AT BONHAMS HONG KONG SALE

A bottle of Karuizawa-1964-51 year old-#1917.

Estimate: HK$850,000-1,200,000

View the catalogue here

Hong Kong – Bonhams Fine and Rare Wine and Whisky sale in Hong Kong on Friday 19 November shines a spotlight on Karuizawa, the cult Japanese distillery which closed in 2001 and demolished in 2016, and which recently announced, to great excitement, the release of their final barrel.

The sale offers more than 20 prime examples of Karuizawa, some dating back to the earliest and rarest 1960s, considered the “hay day” of the distillery when – much influenced by Macallan – they took pride in using the ‘Golden Promise’ barley as an ingredient. Highlights include:

·         A bottle of Karuizawa-1964-51 year old-#1917. Estimate: HK$850,000-1,200,000. (Pictured above)

·         A bottle of Karuizawa-1964-#3603. Estimate: HK$450,000-600,000.

·         A bottle of Karuizawa-1965-#8852. One of 150 bottles bottled in 2017. Estimate:  HK$450,000-550,000.

Bonhams Director of Wine and Spirits for Asia, Daniel Lam, said: “In a strong sale the exceptional choice of rare Karuizawa whiskies stands out. 1960s vintages of Karuizawa are so rare now, that it will probably take many years to assemble a selection of this calibre in the market again. I am therefore expecting a lot of interest from collectors. In the Fine wines section we are offering fascinating Burgundies which seldom appear at auction. I am sure these will whet the appetite of connoisseurs in Hong Kong and beyond.”

Further Japanese whisky highlights include:

·         Bottles from Karuizawa’s ‘Geisha’ series, of which only as few as 70 complete sets were ever released. These include:

·         Left: A pair of 38-year-old & 37-year old Pearl Geisha. Estimate: HK$300,000-400,000.

·         Right: A pair of 31 year old and 29 year old Murasaki Geisha. Estimate: HK$280,000-360,000.

 ·         Bottles from Karuizawa’s ‘Noh’ series, each unique in expression and telling its own story, including:

·         Left: Karuizawa-1977-#7026-Noh. Estimate: HK$170,000-220,000.

·         Right: Karuizawa-1976-32 year old-#6719-Noh. Estimate: HK$160,000-220,000.

Scotch whiskies are led by a single owner collection of the complete 17 bottle set of Port Ellen Full Annual releases.  Each bottle will be sold individually, with the First Annual Release bottled in 2001 estimated at HK$22,000-28,000.

The Port Ellen Distillery on the Isle of Islay ceased production in 1983 but reopened two years ago, an event that created much interest. The sale also includes a bottle of Port Ellen-Sunflower-1969-24 year old (1000% Be@rbrick) bottled in 1993 by Carato of Italy (Estimate: HK$50,000-70,000, image left), as well as a bottle of Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji – The Great Wave (Batch One) (Estimate: HK$100,000-140,000, image right)
