Well a warm welcome to our September auction, and what a month it’s been! This may not quite be a record breaker auction but it’s pretty blinking close! For this month we have well over seven and a half thousand tasty malt treats for you thirsty bidders. It’s been almost impossible to pick just a select few given the spread below however here’s a mixture of what’s in store.

First off the line is a heavyweight Japanese contender from Suntory. A first timer entering through SWAs doors is the Suntory Yamazaki 1983 Sherry Wood. This sherry delight was distilled in straight-head stills at the Yamazaki Distillery. It was then put into second-fill Spanish Oak Sherry butt casks and matured in Ageing Cellar No. 9 North Block of Suntory’s ageing cellar. It is estimated that 12 casks of 500 litres (each) were selected for vatting ending in a limited run of just 6,000 bottles.

 

Next up we we have a Black Bowmore 1964 2nd Edition. Not a stranger here at SWA however always worth a shout out! Like we’ve said before...With an almost unfathomable concentration and intensity of flavour, and perfect balance of fruit, peat and power, this whisky deserves the frequently overused 'legendary' tag and has assumed almost mythic status amongst whisky collectors and aficionados.

Now if you’re looking for a piece of malt history then why don't we direct your attention to two malts from mothballed distilleries bottled by two very different independent bottlers. From Cadenhead’s we have an older bottling of 31 Year Old Lochside distilled in 1962. If this doesn’t float your boat then check out the wee man on the yellow boat of this Port Ellen 33 Year Old from Boutique-Y Whisky Co. This is Boutique-Y’s first age statement of Port Ellen and has reviews like ‘Wow.’ and ‘F*!king Good!’ online. No messin’ around there so take from that what you will...

Now who can’t resist some single sherry cask whisky with great bottle artwork? Yes, us! All from Ian Macleod Distillers and with an oriental theme we have a line-up of speyside malts: two from Mortlach distillery and two musical fashionistas from an unknown Speyside distillery. Your guess is as good as ours.

Our final mention goes to a Samaroli bottling of Tomintoul 1967 46 Year Old. A very modest looking bottling, however, don’t be fooled. This spirit is a promenade that transports your mind and soul to the heights of absolute quality that are very hard to find. Their words… not ours.

Well enough from us here!! Enjoy the healthy spread we have to offer and remember...

Don’t lose your bottle!
