* CLAIRE HARKESS RSW (SCOTTISH b. 1970), YELLOW BIRDS watercolour on paper, signed mounted, framed and under glassimage size 68cm x 32cm, overall size 94.5cm x 56cm 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.

HIGHLAND PARK 1973 28 YEAR OLD SINGLE CASKS #11151 AND #11167 ISLAND SINGLE 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.Released as a pair, these two sister casks were laid down on the same day, and spent their 28 year maturation resting just a few feet apart from one another. Despite this, the resulting expressions are noticeably distinct in colour and flavour. This lot would make a fascinating head-to-head tasting!Distilled: October 1973Bottled: 22nd February 2001Sherry casks#11151 - Bottle Number 149 / 500 - 45.4% ABV / 70cl#11167 - Bottle Number 445 / 524 - 50.4% ABV / 70clQty: 2
LAPHROAIG 10 YEAR OLD ISLAY SINGLE 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.40% ABV / 70cl
MACALLAN RARE CASK 2021 RELEASE SPEYSIDE 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.43% ABV / 70cl
DALWHINNIE 1966 36 YEAR OLD HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT Dalwhinnie is the highest distillery in Scotland and, as such, it also boasts the lowest average temperature range. The obvious benefit of this is a lower “angel’s share” lost from casks in their warehouse, but it also keeps their external worm tubs cool, causing the spirit vapour from the stills to condense very quickly. Combine this with a distillation process which strives to minimise copper contact, and Dalwhinnie distillery produces a heavy, sulphury new make spirit that needs to mellow in refill wood for 15 years before its signature sweet, honied style fully emerges.Bottled: 2002Bottle Number: 619 / 150047.2% ABV / 70cl
LAPHROAIG 10 YEAR OLD ISLAY SINGLE 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.

BALBLAIR 1997 2ND RELEASE HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT The Highland distillery of Balblair, overlooking the Dornoch Firth, produces a light fruity and complex spirit, a result of its slow, decidedly old school production methods.First marketed as a single malt in the year 2000, it wasn’t until 2007 when they expanded the range (prioritising vintages over age statements) that Balbair really took off. Despite this, in 2019, the distillery made the move back to age statements in order to appeal to a broader clientele. However, there will be a few diehard fans who will miss the era of vintages.46% ABV / 70cl
CRAGGANMORE 1984 DISTILLERS EDITION SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Like fellow Speysiders Mortlach and Benrinnes, Cragganmore is a complex and weighty spirit highly prized 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.Distilled: 1984Finished in Port Pipes.40% ABV / 70cl
GLENMORANGIE 1975 25 YEAR OLD COTE DE NUITS WOOD FINISH HIGHLAND SINGLE 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.Distilled: 1975Finished in Grand Cru Burgundy casks.Bottle Number: 48843% ABV / 70cl Slight glue residue to the left of the label (picture included) No laser code visible on the back.
ARDBEG 1976 SINGLE CASK #2391 ISLAY SINGLE 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: 24/11/1976Bottled: 23/06/1999Matured in Sherry Butt #2391Bottle Number: 51 / 49756% ABV / 70cl
MACALLAN 10 YEAR OLD 1990S SPEYSIDE 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.

DALMORE 12 YEAR OLD HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT Dalmore have invested a lot to position themselves as a luxury brand, with their high-end expressions always resplendent in crystal decanters and lavish packaging. And you won’t ever hear them boasting about different cask finishes. Oh no, no, no; they prefer to “finesse” their spirit in a variety of exotic sounding wood. While this type of posturing isn’t exactly unique in the whisky industry, it does create a nagging doubt that the whole thing might just be a case of style over substance.Thankfully, Dalmore’s spirit (more often than not) lives up to the hype. They have a complicated distillation process that utilises mismatched stills to produce distillates with different characteristics. These are then vatted together, before being filled into the distillery’s preferred Sherry casks.40% ABV / 70cl
2 BOTTLES OF GLENMORANGIE 10 YEAR OLD HIGHLAND SINGLE 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.

CRAGGANMORE 14 YEAR OLD FRIENDS OF THE CLASSIC MALTS MILLENNIUM BOTTLING SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Like fellow Speysiders Mortlach and Benrinnes, Cragganmore is a complex and weighty spirit highly prized 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.One of only 4987 bottles released.47.5% ABV / 70cl
BALVENIE 10 YEAR OLD FOUNDER'S RESERVE COGNAC BOTTLE 75CL SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT 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.40% ABV / 75cl
GLENMORANGIE 1972 SINGLE CASK #560 HIGHLAND SINGLE 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.

BLADNOCH 12 YEAR OLD SPECIAL RESERVE MILLENNIUM OF TYNWALD 1979 26 2/3 FL OZ LOWLAND SINGLE MALT Bladnoch distillery, near Wigtown in Dumfries & Galloway, produces a light, grassy and malty spirit that epitomises the Lowland style. Another distillery with a history of sporadic production and closures over the years, it has been enjoying a bit of a renaissance since being resurrected by Australian entrepreneur, David Prior, in 2015.This rare release from 1979 was bottled to celebrate 1000 years of continuous parliamentary government on the Isle of Man, and is one of only 240 bottles released.Matured in Sherry wood.Bottle Number: 149 / 24075° Proof / 26 2/3 fl oz
ABERLOUR 18 YEAR OLD SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT Named after the small Speyside town in which it resides, Aberlour distillery has cultivated a dedicated following, particularly in France where it is frequently the top selling single malt. 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.43% ABV / 70cl
GLENGOYNE 17 YEAR OLD 75CL HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT 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.43% ABV / 75cl
