Five bottles Viña Ardanza, Reserva 1987, Rioja.Category: Red wine.Level: A/B.The Sociedad Vinícola de La Rioja Alta was founded in 1890 in the Barrio de la Estación in Haro. In these early years, the Frenchman Vigier was hired to take charge of the technical management, and soon the winemaking process that we now call classic was mastered. In 1891, the company was renamed La Rioja Alta. Today the company continues to defend the initial idea of its foundation, jealously preserving the creative and enterprising spirit of its founders.

ARDBEG 1993 22 YEAR OLD HART BROTHERSSingle malt.Located on the island’s rugged south coast, Ardbeg distillery represents the peatier end of the Islay spectrum. While it has endured some tough times, spending several years mothballed, the distillery has undergone a bit of a renaissance since being bought over by Glenmorangie and is now on a stable footing.While it still retains its signature sooty spirit, Ardbeg has also adopted its new parent company’s fondness for experimental cask finishes, arguably increasing its appeal.Distilled: October 1993Bottled: June 201652.8% ABV / 70clFill level in mid neck.
AUCHENTOSHAN 1978 18 YEAR OLDSingle malt.Auchentoshan is part of a small minority of Scottish distilleries, in that every drop of whisky it produces is sold as a single malt. Similarly unusual is its use of triple distillation to produce a purer spirit that’s light and mildly fruity.Situated just outside Clydebank, the distillery was lucky to survive the 1941 blitz relatively unscathed. Only one of its warehouses was damaged by a bomb blast, and another near miss provided a blast crater that later became the distillery’s picturesque pond.Bottled: 199758.8% ABV / 70clFill level in high shoulder.
MACALLAN 10 YEAR OLD 1990SSingle malt.There are few distilleries in the world quite so revered as Macallan. Nestled in the heart of the Speyside region, the rich spirit that runs from their “curiously small stills”, and their penchant for Spanish Sherry casks have proven to be a match made in Heaven, delighting the tastebuds of whisky connoisseurs around the globe.With demand far outstripping supply, they embarked upon one of the most ambitious distillery upgrades of all time, investing £140 million in an ultra-modern still house and visitor centre that seamlessly blends with the surrounding landscape, and is home to a whopping 36 stills capable of churning out around 15 million litres of spirit every year. Even so, getting your hands on a bottle can still be tricky, with new releases selling out as soon as they hit the shelves, and older examples regularly setting records at auction.40% ABV / 70clFill level in mid neck. There is some minor staining to the labels, and some rusting to the tin lid.
GLEN ORD 1973 23 YEAR OLD RARE MALTSSingle malt.The Black Isle distillery of Glen Ord has suffered a bit of an identity crisis over the years. It has produced single malt whisky under a variety of names: Glen Ord, Glenordie, Ordie, Muir of Ord, and (simply) Ord. Today its name plays second fiddle to the Singleton brand, of which it is a part, alongside Glendullan and Dufftown distilleries.Like Springbank and Roseisle, Glen Ord is one the few distilleries that can satisfy its malting requirements in house. Their use of very lightly peated malt, combined with a distillation process that maximises copper contact, results in a grassy spirit that reveals notes of ginger as it matures in the cask.Distilled: 1973Bottled: September 1997Bottle Number: 161859.8% ABV / 75clFill level in mid neck. There is some minor wear to the carton.
MACALLAN SPECIAL RESERVE SEAFORTH CLUB ELGIN (1946 - 1987)Single malt.There are few distilleries in the world quite so revered as Macallan. Nestled in the heart of the Speyside region, the rich spirit that runs from their “curiously small stills”, and their penchant for Spanish Sherry casks have proven to be a match made in Heaven, delighting the tastebuds of whisky connoisseurs around the globe.With demand far outstripping supply, they embarked upon one of the most ambitious distillery upgrades of all time, investing £140 million in an ultra-modern still house and visitor centre that seamlessly blends with the surrounding landscape, and is home to a whopping 36 stills capable of churning out around 15 million litres of spirit every year. Even so, getting your hands on a bottle can still be tricky, with new releases selling out as soon as they hit the shelves, and older examples regularly setting records at auction.This very rare Macallan was bottled to comemmorate the opening of the new lounge at the Seaforth Club, Elgin, in 1987.Bottle Number: 5540% ABV / 75clFill level in mid neck. There is some marking to the labels.
LAPHROAIG 15 YEAR OLDSingle malt.Founded in 1815, and often considered to be the whisky equivalent of Marmite (in that you either love it or hate it), Laphroaig is a smoky, medicinal tasting whisky from the south coast of Islay. Clearly more people fall into the “love” category though, as Laphroaig is one of the top ten best selling single malts in the world. Just as well, then, that it is the second largest distillery on the island (after Caol Ila), capable of producing 3.4 million litres of spirit per annum.The distillery still retains its own malting floor, and although it only covers 20% of their requirements, it is instrumental in providing the creosote-y, phenolic character that defines the Laphroaig spirit.43% ABV / 70clFill level in mid neck.
GLENMORANGIE 12 YEAR OLD MILLENNIUM MALTSingle malt.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.40% ABV / 70clFill level in mid neck. Some minor wear to the label.
CAOL ILA 1977 GORDON & MACPHAIL CONNOISSEURS CHOICESingle malt.Caol Ila might not be the prettiest distillery on Islay, but the spectacular view it enjoys, across the water to the neighbouring island of Jura, more than makes up for it. 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.40% ABV / 75clFill level in mid neck. There is some staining and minor denting to the carton.
HIGHLAND PARK 1961 THE DRAGONSingle malt.Orkney’s Highland Park distillery is situated in the town of Kirkwall on the site of an illicit still thought to have been operated by Magnus Eunson, a smuggler, local butcher and former priest who was directly descended from Viking settlers. With that heritage, it’s fitting that today they frequently draw from Scandinavian mythology when it comes to naming their whiskies.The distillery is known for its signature style that utilises Orcadian peat in the malting process, resulting in a fragrant, heathery spirit that is most often left matured in Sherry wood.This is part of a series of highly sought after independent bottlings from S. & J. D. Robertson of Kirkwall.48.1% ABV / 70clFill level in mid neck. There is some minor speckling on the front label. Please see additional images.
LAPHROAIG 12 YEAR OLD CAIRDEAS FEIS ILE 2009Single malt.Founded in 1815, and often considered to be the whisky equivalent of Marmite (in that you either love it or hate it), Laphroaig is a smoky, medicinal tasting whisky from the south coast of Islay. Clearly more people fall into the “love” category though, as Laphroaig is one of the top ten best selling single malts in the world. Just as well, then, that it is the second largest distillery on the island (after Caol Ila), capable of producing 3.4 million litres of spirit per annum.The distillery still retains its own malting floor, and although it only covers 20% of their requirements, it is instrumental in providing the creosote-y, phenolic character that defines the Laphroaig spirit.This example was bottled to celebrate the 2009 Islay Festival, or Feis Ile.57.5% ABV / 70clFill level in mid neck.
MACALLAN 10 YEAR OLD FOR MEMBERS OF THE NEW CLUB ELGINSingle malt.There are few distilleries in the world quite so revered as Macallan.
