BUNNAHABHAIN 25 YEAR OLD ISLAY SINGLE MALT 43% 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).

AUCHENTOSHAN 1973 32 YEAR OLD LOWLAND ISNGLE MALT Distilled: 14/03/1973Bottled: 08/07/2005Bottle Number: 408 / 48055.5% ABV / 70cl 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.

HIGHLAND PARK 13 YEAR OLD DAVID COULTHARD SALTIRE EDITION 2 ISLAND SINGLE MALT 43% ABV / 70cl 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.

MACALLAN 1970 18 YEAR OLD 75CL SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Distilled: 1970Bottled: 198843% ABV / 75cl 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. Some minor denting to carton. Please see additional photos.

LAPHROAIG 10 YEAR OLD ROYAL WARRANT 1994 ISLAY SINGLE MALT 40% ABV / 70cl 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. Please see additional photos.

GLENGOYNE 15 YEAR OLD SCOTTISH OAK WOOD FINISH HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT 43% ABV / 70cl Founded in 1833, Glengoyne distillery, just to the north of Glasgow, straddles the Highland/Lowland border. The light, fruity and honied spirit is predominantly filled into Sherry Casks that are transported from its Highland Still House, across the road to its warehouses in the Lowlands. Glengoyne wasn't seriously marketed as a single malt until the 1990s, and has since achieved huge popularity, especially in Europe. And, thanks to its proximity to Glasgow, visitors flock to the distillery in their droves to experience the many tours and tastings on offer.

CAOL ILA 1975 20 YEAR OLD RARE MALTS 75CL ISLAY SINGLE MALT Bottle Number: 106961.12% ABV / 75cl 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.

ARDBEG 21 YEAR OLD COMMITTEE RELEASE 2001 ISLAY SINGLE MALT Bottled: July 200156.3% ABV / 70cl 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. Minor dent to bottom corner of carton. Please see additional photos.

MACALLAN JAMES BOND 60TH ANNIVERSARY RELEASE DECADE II SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT 43.7% ABV / 70cl The 1970s saw the rise of Roger Moore’s Bond. He brought different, mischievous facets and humour to the character, cheering up a somewhat dire decade.A man for the times, he overcame filmic adversaries with elegant aplomb. While the business of making movies remained as serious as whisky distilling, he reminded us that life is about enjoyment of the finer, better still the finest, of all that it offers.The packaging design includes sketches and storyboards from The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Stromborg’s Atlantis marine research lab, and various space station concepts from Moonraker (1979).There are few distilleries in the world quite so revered as Macallan.

ARRAN 17 YEAR OLD ISLAND SINGLE MALT 1 of 9000 bottles46% ABV / 70cl Still a relative youngster in whisky terms, Arran distillery began production in 1995. Thanks to a focus on sourcing quality casks, and its light, accessible spirit that ages well, Arran has proven extremely successful. So much so, that in 2017 they began construction of a second distillery on the other side of the island. Sharing a name with Arran’s only other previous legal still (closed in 1837), Lagg distillery focuses on producing peated spirit.

ABHAINN DEARG 50CL ISLAND SINGLE MALT 46% ABV / 50clOne of the most remote distilleries in Scotland, Abhainn Dearg is the first legal distillery in the Outer Hebrides since 1844. This tiny distillery began production in 2008 and only produces 20,000 litres of spirit pre annum using traditional methods and locally sourced ingredients. The name Abainn Dearg (pronounced A-vin Jer-ig) comes from the distillery’s water source, and is Gaelic for “the red river”.

CAOL ILA 1975 20 YEAR OLD RARE MALTS 75CL ISLAY SINGLE MALT Distilled: 1975Bottle Number: 002661.12% ABV / 75cl 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. There is some damage to the capsule, however, it remains partially intact and the stopper could not be removed without causing further damage. Please see additional photograph.

CLYNELISH 1972 23 YEAR OLD RARE MALTS 75CL HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT Distilled: 1972Bottle Number: 107757% ABV / 75cl Built in the late 1960s, as a replacement for the distillery we now refer to as Brora, Clynelish has produced whisky for the Johnnie Walker range of blends ever since. Capable of producing nearly 5 million litres of spirit annually, it is one of Scotland’s larger malt distilleries. But despite this, it isn’t exactly a household name, with a relatively small percentage of its output appearing in single malt form. Its core range begins and ends with a 14-Year-Old, occasionally supplemented with a few limited releases and a sporadically bottled double matured Distillers Edition. Thankfully, fans of the Highland distillery’s signature waxy style can experience a broader selection in the form of independent releases.

HIGHLAND PARK 1979 21 YEAR OLD ADELPHI ISLAND SINGLE MALT Distilled: 1979Bottled: 2000Cask #416451.7% ABV / 70cl 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.

CRAGGANMORE 17 YEAR OLD MANAGER'S DRAM 1992 75CL SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Bottled: 25/11/199262% ABV / 75cl Like fellow Speysiders Mortlach and Benrinnes, Cragganmore is a complex and weighty spirit highly prised by blenders. The secret of this “heft” is down to their long fermentation, unusually shaped stills and worm tub condensers. Also, unusually for a Speyside whisky, Cragganmore uses barley that has been lightly peated. With most of its output making its way into blends, the only single malts in the distillery’s core range is their excellent 12 Year Old and the Port finished Distillers Edition.

GLEN KEITH 21 YEAR OLD SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Bottled: 02/2020Batch #GK/002Bottle Number: 4946943% ABV / 70cl Built by Seagram in the late 1950s, Glen Keith provided malt whisky for the Chivas, Passport and 100 Pipers blends until it was eventually mothballed in 1999. By 2001, the company was acquired by French conglomerate Pernod-Ricard, who refurbished the distillery and pressed it back into service in 2013.In addition to providing blending stock, the distillery is home to the Chivas Brothers lab, who’s experiments have included the production of a heavily peated spirit known as Glenisla. Official releases from Glen Keith are extremely thin on the ground, so the best plan for those keen to sample the seldom seen single malt is to hunt down some of the excellent indie releases.

GLENGOYNE 17 YEAR OLD AUCHENCRAIG RESERVE HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT 43% ABV / 70cl Founded in 1833, Glengoyne distillery, just to the north of Glasgow, straddles the Highland/Lowland border.

The spirit it produces ages extremely well in Sherry casks and has a distinctive note of blackcurrant.Although it boasts an extensive core range, the expression it is perhaps best known for is the consistently excellent small batch A’Bunadh.

BALVENIE 1970 UNIQUE STAFF BOTTLING SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Distilled: 1970Bottled: 2014A totally unique bottling to mark the 44 year career of a staff member.40.3% ABV / 70cl Balvenie is part of the Grant’s family and sits beside its sister distilleries, Glenfiddich and Kininvie, in the Speyside burgh of Dufftown. Established in 1892, just a few years after Glenfiddich, Balvenie has spent its life supplying the heart of the Grant’s blend. In fact, it wasn’t until nearly 100 years later, when Kininvie was built, that it was able to seriously market its own single malt. One of very few distilleries to retain its own malting floor, Balvenie is slightly unusual for a modern Speyside whisky in that it still uses a small percentage of peated malt to make its spirit. While the new make it produces is far from smoky, this small amount of peat gives it a distinctive character that has helped it become one of the best-selling malt whiskies in the world.

GLENMORANGIE PORT WOOD FINISH 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. Please see additional pictures

The lot consists of four volumes. Two volumes encompassing the first period, numbers 1 to 76 with the original binding, and another two volumes forming the second period, covering numbers 77 to 100, bound in period half leather.The Pèl i Ploma magazine was the artistic publication that most typified Catalan Modernism. Founded as a weekly in Barcelona on June 3, 1899, it became a monthly starting from issue number 77 (June 1901) and ceased publication at number 100 (December 1903).Owned and artistically directed by Ramon Casas, Miquel Utrillo was literary director and contributors included Eugeni d'Ors, Joan Maragall and Apel.les Mestres, among others. Illustrators included Casas himself, Isidro Nonell, Picasso, Santiago Rusiñol, Joaquín Mir, Anglada Camarasa, Pichot, Gosé, Sorolla, etc.Pèl i Ploma's typographic presentation was of extremely high quality.  Editions were published in both Catalan and Spanish and included articles in French.The magazine started as a weekly, to then become a monthly publication with artistic drawings. Ramon Casas, along with friends, was responsible for the material and artistic aspects of the magazine. Other artists like Ramon Pichot, Isidre Nonell, and Pablo Ruiz Picasso also contributed drawings.The collaboration expanded to writers like Eduard Marquina, Manuel de Montoliu, Eugeni de Ors, Joan Maragall, and many others. Joan Maragall, for example, published several compositions, including poems and articles.Pèl i Ploma evolved into a monthly art magazine, printed in the Thomas workshops, with excellent presentation and abundant illustrations of artworks in various colours. Notable contributors in this period included Francesc Rosselló, Xavier Viura, Fèlix Escalas, Josep M. Jordà, Jacint Verdaguer, Josep M. Sert, Jaume Massó i Torrent, J. Torres-García, Salvador Vilaregut, and others. Literary contributions were in Catalan, Spanish, and French.A significant aspect of Pèl i Ploma was the friendship between Ramon Casas and Santiago Rusiñol, leading to the dedicated pages of drawings and paintings by Rusiñol and the publication of his literary works.The 100th issue featured portraits of Barcelona journalists, drawn by Ramon Casas, serving as a tribute to the local press, marking the conclusion of Pèl i Ploma in December 1903.While it was stated that Pèl i Ploma was possibly the best magazine ever published, such claims are maybe exaggerated. However, the efforts of Ramon Casas and Miquel Utrillo throughout those hundred issues were exemplary in terms of enthusiasm and generosity. Pèl i Ploma did not entirely disappear with its extraordinary 100th issue, as its animators published another magazine a year later, named "Forma," in the same format and style. Pèl i Ploma, continuing the legacy of "Quatre gats" and the artistic and literary groundwork initiated by "L’Avenç" and "Catalònia," represented the triumph of Catalan Modernism, particularly in its visual aspect, and introduced the spirit of European renewal to Catalonia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.    

Michel Wolgemut (1434-1519) - Coronation and Glory of Mary - 1493 / Description: Old colored woodcut from the first edition of Hartmann Schedel, "Liber Cronicarum", Nuremberg on 12 July 1493. The crowning of Mary is in progress. The Lord is seated on his throne, and Mary kneels beside him, about to receive the crown upon her head. Above and between them is the symbolic dove, with wings outspread, attesting the presence of the Holy Spirit. The woodcut is inscribed, "The Coronation of the Glorious Virgin Mary in Heaven. "The wood blocks were designed by Michael Wolgemut and his stepson Wilhelm Pleydenwurff and their assistants, including the young Albrecht Dürer, who was apprenticed to Wolgemut at the time. The printing was carried out under the supervision of the great scholar-printer Anton Koberger. Wohlgemut was Albrecht Dürer's tutor between 1486-90. Since the young Dürer was working in the workshop in the years 1486-1489 when many of the early designs for the Chronicle were made he might be involved. / Dimensions: 12,30 x 7,30 cm / Condition: Excellent condition. With the original Latin letterpress above and on the backside of the woodcut from the first edition. / Literature: Liber Chronicarum, here a first edition, printed by Anton Koberger in Nuremberg on 12 July 1493 in old coloring. The luxury editions in old coloring are mentioned in literature and were of the most expensive. / Medium: Woodcut /Circa: 1493 280

* ANDREW HAY (SCOTTISH b. 1944), PADDY'S MARKET oil on board, signedframedimage size 112cm x 160cm, overall size 135cm x  180cmComment: A rare auction appearance for a major painting by Andrew Hay and unquestionably the largest and most impressive example to be offered at auction, anywhere.Note: Having started to paint at the age of 39, within a year the People's Palace Museum, Glasgow had purchased ten paintings and had given Hay his first solo exhibition. Since then his works have been included in numerous public and private collections. His work deals with both narrative and nature, sometimes subverting one or the other in order to advance his artistic practise. His insistence on invention, freedom and risk affirms continuity in his aesthetic spirit. He uses a network of codes, symbols and expressive techniques which play off his collective memory and familiarity of everyday objects and culture from his childhood and juxtaposes them with present day reality. In so doing he embodies them with a new philosophical discourse. Andrew’s work now features in many significant public and private collections and is in the permanent collections of Glasgow's Kelvingrove, Gallery of Modern Art and The People's Palace.

* CLAIRE HARKESS RSW (SCOTTISH b. 1970), FINCH watercolour on paper, signed in pencil, titled versomounted, framed and under glassimage size 21cm x 26cm, overall size 44cm x 48cm Note: Claire Harkess was born in Ayr, Scotland, graduating from Glasgow School of Art in the early 1990s. In recent years her painting has taken her to fragile lands to study and interpret life on the edge. Antarctica, Outback Australia and St Kilda are all places where, in such extreme environments, survival is difficult and the balance of life is delicate. Harkess has also worked on the Galápagos Islands, made famous by Charles Darwin’s ‘The Origin of the Species’. This isolated volcanic outpost remained relatively untouched by man, evolving to become one of the World’s unique ecosystems. The balance present in nature is clearly communicated through Claire's paintings. Painting in watercolour or gouache offers a unique directness; the essential qualities of light and energy present in the natural world are the very essence of the medium itself. The delicacy of her palette and oriental economy of her mark-making creates a subtle tension representing a world that is ‘holding still’, giving a sense of freedom, spirit, time and place. Claire's work is exhibited at The Scottish Gallery, where her most recent highly successful solo show was in July 2020, and at other prestigious galleries around the UK.
