November 2015 Auction

Arran 1997 16 Year Old Music Festival 2013

Arran held a master class to select the cask which would become the 2013 Festival Bottling. A 16 year old first fill Sherry Hogshead was selected for its flavour and balance.

Distilled on 7th April 1997 and bottled on 6th June 2013.

One of 232 bottles.

Please note that bottle number on box and bottle do not match. 

Ardbeg Kildalton 2014

The latest release from Ardbeg in connection with the North Highland Initiative (NHI) a charity which helps rural communities across the Northern Highlands.

This new and elegantly packaged Ardbeg is a combination of first fill and refill ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks.  Please do not mistake this Kildalton for that which was released in 2004, 10 years ago. 

Please note that the inner packaging is very fragile and in some cases has cracked or could crack in transit, Whisky Auctioneer takes no resposibility for this issue. 

Ardbeg Supernova 2014

Following in the footsteps of the previous Supernova release, this is a peaty as Ardbeg gets.  Sold exclusively to members of the Ardbeg Committee via Ardbeg Embassies worldwide, as you can imagine it was not available for long...

This release celebrates the return to earth of the 'Ardbeg Space Experiment'.  For more information on this take a look at the Supernova story here.

Armagnac Laubade 1965

Château de Laubade was founded in 1870 in the heart of Gascony, the original home of distillation in France, and has been owned by the Lesgourgues family since 1974. 

Distilled in 1965.

Ardbeg Supernova SN2015

The forth release of Supernova... SN2015. 

With Ardbeg having blasted whisky into space and it having returned successfully we are being treated to a new Supernova. We'll need to wait and see as to what Dr Lumsden has to say about zero gravity maturation... probably that it isn't cost efficient. 

Peated to over 100 PPM this is a big bang of a whisky. Truly out of this world. A star of a dram. Is that enough space puns yet? 

Ardbeg Galileo 1999

Released in September 2012, the Ardbeg Galileo quickly sold out at retailers.

Aged for 12- 13 years, the Galileo is a combination of casks matured in first-fill bourbon casks and a peculiar Marsala enhanced version of Ardbeg Alligator.

Dailuaine 1997 Managers' Choice

Distilled in 1997 and bottled in 2009 from single cask #8476 this is bottle number 278.
