October Auction Highlights 2018
When it comes to dark, heavily sherried whiskies the first whisky that comes to mind has to be the Black Bowmore.

September Auction Highlights 2018
After over 10 years since the first release of the 50-year-old back in 2006, the collaboration with Macallan & Lalique has come a long way. This Macallan 65-year-old is the final release in the series and completes the Six Pillars collection. At the time of its release in 2016, this was one of the oldest and rarest whiskies the distillery had to boast. Drawn from ex-Sherry casks we can only imagine the flavours such whisky has to offer.
