GLEN GRANT 15 YEAR OLD GORDON & MACPHAIL 100° PROOF 1970S 26 2/3 FL OZ SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT 100° Proof / 26 2/3 fl oz Glen Grant was the first distillery in Scotland to have electric lighting installed, thanks to its forward-thinking owner, and all-round colourful character, Major James Grant. Grant was an innovator who was one of the first people to realise the potential of exporting whisky abroad. Initially, this paid dividends, and in 1897 The Major began construction of a second distillery across the road. However, as was the case with so many distilleries built around this time, Glen Grant 2 was mothballed after just a few years. Although, it did re-open in 1965 under the name Caperdonich.While it might not be a household name in the UK, Glen Grant is consistently one of the top selling single malts in Italy due to the groundwork laid by legendary importer Armando Giovinetti in the 1960s. It, therefore, seems appropriate that the distillery is now owned by Campari, an Italian company.

Lot 145

DUFFTOWN 15 YEAR OLD FLORA & FAUNA FIRST EDITION SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT 43% ABV / 70cl One of the best-known single malt whisky brands in the world, Singleton, is not actually a distillery, but rather three distilleries: Glen Ord, Glendullan and Dufftown. Originally, each one catered to a specific global market based on its flavour profile, but these days they can each be found further afield. With spirit stills that are larger than its wash stills, Dufftown used to produce a heavier spirit described as “nutty and spicy”. However, more recently it has lengthened its fermentation time for a lighter, grassier flavour that better suits (parent company) Diageo’s blending requirements.

Lot 140

GLENLIVET 15 YEAR OLD GORDON & MACPHAIL 26 2/3 FL OZ SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT 70° Proof / 26 2/3 fl oz One of the very first distilleries in Scotland to be granted an official licence, after the passing of the licencing act in 1823, Glenlivet distillery has become synonymous with Speyside whisky. So much so, that at one point 28 other distilleries in the area adopted “Glenlivet” as a suffix to their own brand in order to piggyback on the reputation Glenlivet had built for itself. Although that practise has fallen by the wayside in recent years some independent bottlers still use it.The Glenlivet brand is now one of the most recognisable in the world, and despite the distillery undergoing an expansion and upgrade (beginning) in 2010, their iconic 12-Year-Old expression still had to be discontinued for a few years before production was able to catch up with demand.

Lot 132

BUNNAHABHAIN 1979 25 YEAR OLD FIRST CASK ISLAY SINGLE MALT Distilled: 31/10/1979Matured in cask #11850Bottle Number: 16046% ABV / 70cl Purpose built in 1881 by William Baxter, Bunnahabhain distillery on the northeast coast of Islay featured housing for its workers, as well as its own pier for ease of transporting whisky and materials to and from the mainland. As with most distilleries, much of its life was spent producing blending stock, but in the late 1980s it began to appear as a single malt.Initially this single malt output was mostly sherry matured and so lightly peated as to be barely perceptible, placing Bunna’ firmly in the minority of Islay whiskies. However, since its takeover by Distell in 2013 around 20% of the spirit produced there is now heavily peated, with these expressions bearing the name “Moine” (the Gaelic word for peat).

Lot 155

LAGAVULIN 12 YEAR OLD WHITE HORSE 1980S 75CL ISLAY SINGLE MALT 43% ABV / 75cl The Islay distillery of Lagavulin first gained notoriety in 1862 when it was acquired by the well-known blender, John Logan Mackie. He then passed the reins to his nephew Peter, who is credited with the creation of the highly regarded White Horse Blend. This blend was so successful that by 1924 the Mackie group changed their name to White Horse Distillers, before becoming part of the DCL group a few years later. Lagavulin single malt was still produced under the White Horse Distillers name until the late 1990s when it became part of the Diageo conglomerate. The most famous advocate of Lagavulin is probably fictional character, Ron Swanson, from hit US sit-com Parks & Recreation. However, Nick Offerman (the actor who plays Ron) must also enjoy a drop, as he has partnered up with the distillery to create his own limited-edition whisky.

Lot 178

STRATHISLA 25 YEAR OLD GORDON & MACPHAIL SILVER JUBILEE 26 2/3 FL OZ SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT 70° Proof / 26 2/3 fl oz A contender for the title of prettiest distillery in Scotland, today Strathisla provides the heart of the Chivas Regal blend. Originally a brewery for the local monastery, the first licenced distillation took place in 1786 under the name Milltown distillery. In fact, it wasn’t until 1951 that it was rechristened Strathisla.While it’s main focus is producing blending stock, the distillery does have some presence as single malt, primarily with it’s 12 Year Old official bottling. In addition, independent releases are easy enough to come by, with some of Gordon & MacPhail’s older expressions being held in particularly high regard.

Lot 204

10 ASSORTED GLENFIDDICH MINIATURES INCLUDING CLANS OF THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND GIFT SET All 40% ABV / 5cl Qty: 3 Without Glenfiddich, Scotland might not enjoy the same thriving whisky scene it has today. Founded in 1886 by William Grant, and still family owned, Glenfiddich was one of the first distilleries to seriously market single malt whisky as a credible alternative to blends. This decision was prompted by a dispute with their grain supplier in 1963, leading to a scaling back in production of their Grant’s blend. By the late 1960s Glenfiddich single malt was a firm hit with the Jet Set, who were picking it up in their droves from the newly emerging Duty-Free market. That early prescience clearly paid off, as (despite strong competition from fellow Speyside giants Glenlivet and Macallan) Glenfiddich is consistently the best-selling single malt in the world, shifting over 1 million cases every year.

GLENMORANGIE 18 YEAR OLD 1990S HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT 43% ABV / 70cl Famous for their unique stills, each as tall as an adult giraffe, and their passion for innovation, Glenmorangie remains one of the best-selling single malts in the world. They were one of the first distilleries to experiment with cask finishing; the process of transferring spirit from one cask type to another in order to impart additional characteristics and flavours.To further this agenda of innovation, in September of 2021 Glenmorangie began production at their new “Lighthouse” facility, a futuristic R&D department protruding from the heart of their traditional distillery complex like a monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Off limits to the public, it is home to a “sensory lab” as well as two of Glenmorangie’s signature stills, each of which plays host to several classified modifications. Only time will tell what exciting innovations will filter down to the rest of the industry.

The distillery itself is an absolute monster, producing more litres of spirit per year than Lagavulin, Ardbeg, and Laphroaig combined! A good chunk of its staggering output winds up in Johnnie Walker, but there’s still plenty left to be bottled as single malt, in both peated and un-peated guises.

Lot 169

CARDHU 15 YEAR OLD MANAGER'S DRAM 75CL SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Bottled: 19/07/198963% ABV / 75cl Cardhu was the first distillery acquired by John Walker & Son in 1893 and has been linked to the brand ever since. Although it had appeared as a single malt as early as 1888, it wasn’t until nearly 100 years later that it was properly marketed as such. This proved especially popular in Spain and France, to the point where the distillery couldn’t meet the demand without eating into its blending stock. Their novel approach was to supplement it with whisky from other distilleries, calling it a “Pure Malt” instead. This sneaky tactic caused no end of consternation from the wider whisky industry, ultimately resulting in a tightening of Scotch Whisky regulations and the introduction of the “Blended malt” category.
