A very warm, and we mean WARM, welcome here from the rather sultry sauna that is SWA HQ. Yes the sun is out and it’s very much ‘Taps Aff’ weather for us befuddled sweating Scots. Not even this sweltering heat though can distract our attention away from our most recent malty wonders!

New releases this month are plentiful, from the Macallan Concept No.3, Ardbeg 8 Year Old For Discussion and plenty of Lindores to be had.

Fresh in from Campbeltown is Springbank’s Hand Filled Distillery Exclusives. Call us biased but these are sure to be tasty and of course cask strength!

Tickling our taste buds we begin with a Highland Park 1964. Vatted from two refill hogsheads, this dram is all about the complex balance between environment, skill, hard work and patience. Not much can surpass a fine Orcadian single malt in a sleek black bottle, boxed in a wooden case featuring marquetry inspired by the wood carvings at the Urnes Stave Church in Norway!

Next in line is a Laphroaig 1980 27 Year Old.This Islay bomb is rich in colour, not surprising considering it’s been slumbering in the finest Oloroso sherry casks known to man for the best part of three decades. Not much can beat a ridiculously smoky AND sweet whisky, the best of both worlds. Well, that’s our opinion anyway.

PRIVATELY OWNED WHISKY CASKS UP FOR AUCTION 

Three privately owned casks of whisky, currently owned by a Yorkshire businessman, are coming up for auction in North Yorkshire as part of Tennants Auctioneers’ Whisky and Fine Wine Sale on 17^th September. Bought by the vendor a little over 25 years ago, the casks have been sitting in bond at Deanston Distillery, Perthshire, aging with distinction over the years. Their sale offers buyers an excellent opportunity to own a truly wonderful product.

Leading the selection is the Macallan 1989 Single Malt Scotch Whisky Hogshead, on offer with an estimate of £80,000-120,000 plus 10% buyer’s premium. Filled in 1989, the cask has recently been re-gauged, and the cask will currently yield approximately 120 70cl bottles of 32-year-old Macallan. Tennants Auctioneers’ Whisky Specialist William McNab describes the whisky as being the colour of Chardonnay with a rich gold core, being very smooth on the palate with spicy high notes, a subtle and sophisticated nose with warm and fruity aromas, and lingering dry oaky tones to the finish.

Also on offer are two Hogsheads of 1995 Tobermory Single Malt Whisky, each offered with an estimate of £25,000-35,000 plus buyer’s premium.
