limited edition bronze on wooden base, signed and inscribed AP 28cm tall Note 1: This work was cast in Edinburgh in an edition of 9, plus 4 Artist Proofs. Note 2: John Byrne studied at both Edinburgh and Glasgow Schools of Art in the late 50s and early 60s. A superb painter and draughtsman, the multi-talented Byrne was also a first-class playwright (‘The Slab Boys’, ‘Tutti Frutti’), his ear for dialogue was as acute (and witty) as his eye for detail. Much of his subject matter in both disciplines is overtly autobiographical, he often included or refers to the Teddy Boy/Rock and Roll era of his youth. Byrne designed record covers for Donovan, The Beatles, Gerry Rafferty and Billy Connolly. His work is held in major collections in Scotland and abroad. Several of his paintings hang in The Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh, the Museum of Modern Art and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow.

Being a keen golfer and a leading Scottish painter, it is natural that one of his favourite subjects was golf courses of which there are many in his part of the world. But it is for his highly detailed and striking landscapes that he is best known, his original work and limited edition prints being collected by enthusiasts all over the world. Born in the Kyle of Lochalsh, on Scotland’s West Coast, Donald Shearer studied painting in Aberdeen at Grays School of Art where he achieved the RSA Award. He exhibited widely including at the RGI and at The Royal Scottish Academy. RSA records show his first painting was shown in 1959 when his address was 7 Simpson Place, Dingwall and from 1979 onwards he was living at "Rossal", Seabank Road, Invergordon. After more than thirty years, his final painting at the RSA was exhibited in 1990.

Named after the nearby Balvenie Castle, the distillery is known for its traditional methods, including its own barley malting and cooperage.

In 1993, it pioneered "secondary" aging with its DoubleWood edition, maturing whisky first in ex-bourbon casks and then in ex-sherry casks.

HIGHLAND PARK 16 YEARS OLD | Stated age: 16 years old | ABV: 40% | Region: Islands - Orkney | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Volume: 700 ml | Condition: traces of mold on the bottle | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: paper box | Estimate: 2 000 - 3 000 Kc | Distillery | Highland Park is an iconic Scottish distillery located in the Orkney Islands, in the town of Kirkwall. Its history dates back to 1798, although the circumstances surrounding its creation are shrouded in myth. The foundation is attributed to either the well-known smuggler and priest Magnus Eunson or the farmer David Robertson. The exact details are disputed, but the distillery's official gate bears the year 1798 as the beginning of its history.The distillery did not gain its real stability and development until the second half of the 19th century, when it was first owned by William Stuart (proprietor of Miltonduff), and then James Grant, former manager of the Glenlivet Distillery. Under their leadership, the distillery was expanded and became an important part of the Scotch whiskey industry.In 1937, Highland Park became part of Highland Distillers, which is now part of the Edrington Group (which also includes The Macallan in its portfolio). Highland Park whiskey first appeared on the market as a single malt in the 1970s in an 8-year-old version, but in the 1980s the packaging underwent a redesign (and then several other modifications) when 12-year and 18-year versions were introduced. The distillery soon gained a strong, almost cult-like fan base, and its offerings are constantly expanding. In addition to the main line of aged whiskeys, various limited editions have been released, inspired by the history of Orkney and Norse mythology. | Bottle | Highland Park Aged 16 Years is a single malt whisky released as a special edition for travel retail, making it unavailable in mainstream stores.

Undertones of vanilla and oak add depth.Taste: Smooth and pleasantly rounded, with flavors of caramel, honey, and subtle spices. Light notes of peat and fruity sherry also complement the spirit's character.Finish: Medium length, with a hint of spice and fine smoke that lingers on the palate.

Jack Daniel's Distillery was officially established in 1866 in Lynchburg, Tennessee, making it the first registered distillery in the United States.Jack Daniel's whiskey is distinguished from bourbon by a special filtering process through a thick layer of maple wood charcoal , known as the Lincoln County Process.

Then the whiskey matures in hand-made oak barrels, where it acquires a rich taste with notes of caramel, vanilla and wood.Jack Daniel's Distillery is part of the Brown-Forman Corporation, one of the world's largest beverage companies. Paradoxically, it is still produced in the city of Lynchburg, which is the so-called a dry city where the sale of alcohol is officially prohibited.The Jack Daniel's brand has achieved cult status in popular culture, particularly through its close association with music genres such as rock and country, and today is one of the best-selling whiskeys in the world. | Bottle | Jack Daniel's 1981 Gold Medal Series is part of a special collector's collection released by the Jack Daniel's distillery to celebrate the gold medals the brand has won at international competitions. This particular edition commemorates Jack Daniel's success at the Monde Selection Awards in Brussels in 1981, where the whiskey received a prestigious gold medal for its exceptional quality.Nose: Delicate and sweet, with notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak, complemented by a light fruitiness.Taste: Smooth and balanced, with flavors of caramel, vanilla, soft oak, and a hint of spice.Finish: Medium-length and sweet, with lingering woody notes and a subtle spicy aftertaste.This bottle is a sought-after collector's item due to its history and attractive design that pays tribute to a milestone for the Jack Daniel's brand.

JURA 1992 AUTHENTIC COLLECTION 15 YEARS OLD | Distilled: 1992 | Bottled: 03/2008 | Stated age: 15 years old | ABV: 53,4% | Region: Islands - Jura | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Volume: 700 ml | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: paper tube with traces of rust inside the tube and on the cap | Estimate: 2 000 - 3 000 Kc | Distillery | Jura is a Scottish distillery located on the remote Isle of Jura in the South Hebrides region.

However, the initial success ended in 1901, when the first great whiskey crisis closed down. Operating in such a remote location was expensive and the lack of a direct connection to the mainland contributed to its closure for over six decades.In 1963 the distillery saw a renaissance thanks to the efforts of Robin Fletcher and Tony Riley-Smith, who in collaboration with blender Charles Mackinlay and designer William Delme-Evans reinvigorated island distillation. The aim of this move was to support the island's economy and stop the population decline.The distillery started selling its single malt whiskey in 1974 and gradually expanded its range. In 2002, Superstition whiskey was launched, adding a slightly smoky character, followed in 2009 by the fully peated edition of Prophecy. In 2018, Jura underwent a complete rebrand, introducing a new range of whiskeys with a subtle smoky touch, including the base version Jura Journey, 10-year, 12-year and 18-year whiskeys, and special editions such as Jura Seven Wood. | Bottle | Isle of Jura 1992 Authentic Collection is a single malt whisky distilled in 1992 and bottled by independent bottler Cadenhead's in March 2008 as part of the Authentic Collection series.

In 1876, the Glasgow company Lang Bros. took control of the distillery, which first renamed it Glen Guin and in 1905 Glengoyne.The distillation process at Glengoyne is significantly slower than other Scottish distilleries, which contributes to a fine, to the sweet and fruity character of the distillate. It is dominated by notes of apples, pears and bananas, giving the whiskey its characteristic lightness and smoothness.A unique feature of the distillery is the fact that the distillation takes place in the Highlands region, while the warehouses where the whiskey matures are located across the road in the Lowlands region. This geographical feature is often highlighted in the brand's marketing.In 2003 the distillery was sold to Ian MacLeod, who focused on developing the Glengoyne brand as a premium single malt whiskey and turning it into a tourist destination. Today, more than 50,000 visitors visit the distillery annually. | Bottle | Glengoyne Aged 20 Years "Peter's Choice" is a single malt whisky, distilled on 14 April 1986 and bottled in August 2006 as a limited edition, personally selected by Mashman Peter Andrew.

The use of different types of casks also appears in other editions, such as the 17-year-old DoubleWood, the 14-year-old Caribbean Cask (ex-rum casks) or the 21-year-old PortWood, which have become part of the basic range. Limited and unique editions include e.g. batches from the Tun or Single Barrel series.Balvenie is now part of William Grant & Sons. | Bottle | Balvenie Aged 17 Years Finished in New Oak Casks is a single malt whisky from the Balvenie distillery, bottled in 2006 as a limited edition within the New Wood series.

AUCHROISK 1992 15 YEARS OLD | Distilled: 1992 | Bottled: 2008 | Stated age: 15 years old | ABV: 46% | Region: Speyside | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Volume: 700 ml | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: metal tube with a small dent on the front of the tube | Estimate: 2 000 - 3 000 Kc | Distillery | Auchroisk is a Scottish distillery located in the Speyside region, near the town of Keith. The location was chosen for easy access to clean water from a nearby spring. The name "Auchroisk" means "bright spring" in the Gaelic language. The distillery was established in 1972 by Justerini & Brooks to supply malt distillate for their blended whiskies. From the beginning, however, it also concentrated on the production of its own single malt whiskey, which was first bottled in 1986.The distillery's own bottlings were vintage and some of them were among the first to use a different type of cask for final maturation than in which the distillate was initially matured. However, this information was not publicly known, so the credit for this revolutionary type of cask management was appropriated by the Balvenie distillery, which is still credited with this forward-thinking approach.Auchroisk is an important part of Diageo's portfolio and one of the pillars of their blended Johnny Walker whiskey. | Bottle | Auchroisk 1992 is a single malt whisky, distilled in 1992 at Auchroisk Distillery and bottled by the independent bottler Murray McDavid in 2008.

AUCHENTOSHAN 18 YEARS OLD OLOROSO SHERRY LIMITED EDITION | Stated age: 18 years old | ABV: 55,8% | Region: Lowlands | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Volume: 750 ml | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: paper box, traces of mold on the box | Bottle code: L062263 146 11:19 | Estimate: 3 000 - 5 000 Kc | Distillery | Auchentoshan is a Scottish distillery located near Glasgow in the Lowlands. Founded in 1823, its location near the urban agglomeration and the River Clyde facilitates distribution. The name 'Auchentoshan' comes from the Gaelic language and means 'corner of the field', referring to the proximity of the Kilpatrick Hills.The distillery is known for its triple distillation technique, which is unusual for Scottish distilleries, the vast majority of distilleries use double distillation . This method gives the distillate a finer and lighter character, typical of the Lowlands region. Auchentoshan is therefore often recommended as an ideal entry point for those exploring the world of Scotch still.Auchentoshan today belongs to the Beam Suntory portfolio and still uses its traditional triple distillation, making it one of Scotland's unique distilleries. | Bottle | Auchentoshan Aged 18 Years is a single malt whisky, bottled as a limited edition in 2006. The whisky is matured in a combination of first and second-fill sherry casks (1st and 2nd Fill Oloroso Sherry Butts), giving it fullness and complexity, with sherry notes that are well balanced—neither overly sweet nor heavy.Nose: Rich notes of dried fruit such as raisins and figs, complemented by vanilla, spice, and a hint of roasted nuts.Taste: Full and warm, with a blend of sherry sweetness, dark fruit, chocolate, and subtle spicy undertones.Finish: Long and complex, with lingering notes of dried fruit, spice, and subtle woodiness.Thanks to its higher alcohol strength and the combination of different types of sherry casks, this whisky delivers a rich and balanced taste experience that will be appreciated by lovers of sherry whisky with a fuller character.

TOMATIN 12 YEARS OLD | Stated age: 12 years old | ABV: 40% | Region: Highland | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Volume: 700 ml | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: paper tube with traces of rust inside the tube and on the cap | Estimate: 1 000 - 2 000 Kc | Distillery | Tomatin is a Scottish distillery located in the Highlands, between the towns of Aviemore and Inverness. It was founded in 1897, but the first attempt to operate the distillery failed as early as 1906. New management reopened it in 1909, marking the start of its incredible growth, which made Tomatin the largest malt distillery in Scotland.Tomatin experienced a boom in the 1950s and 1970s, when the number of stills increased from the original two to 23, which enabled an annual production of up to 10 million liters of whiskey. However, in 1986 it went bankrupt due to falling demand and overproduction of whisky.The distillery was subsequently rescued by two of its major Japanese customers, Takara Shuzo and Okura & Co., making Tomatin the first Japanese-owned Scotch distillery. This change allowed for the stabilization of the distillery, which has since concentrated on single malt whiskey rather than bulk deliveries for blends. In addition, the distillery purchased the J&W Hardie brand, including the prestigious Antiquary blend.Today, Tomatin produces approximately 2 million liters of whiskey annually from twelve stills. Popular products include single malt whiskeys in different age variants and Cu Bocan peat edition. | Bottle | Tomatin Aged 12 Years is a single malt whisky from the Tomatin Distillery, aged in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, which imparts a balanced fruity and lightly spiced character with a gentle sherry influence.

It was founded in 1815 by Donald and Alexander Johnston on the south coast of the island. Laphroaig (pronounced "la-frojg") is Gaelic for "hollow by the broad bay," referring to the distillery's location near Kilbride Bay.In 1921, Ian Hunter took control of the distillery and greatly expanded production and exports to the USA. Laphroaig has become one of the most popular whiskeys in North America and Great Britain. After his death in 1954, the distillery was inherited by his secretary, Bessie Williamson, who became the first woman to run a Scottish distillery.In 1994, Laphroaig received a "Royal Warrant" from Prince Charles, a designation , which can only be obtained by companies that have been supplying products to the royal family for a long time. This decree confirms the long-standing tradition and high quality of Laphroaig whiskey and recognizes it as the drink of choice at the royal court.Thanks to its intense taste, Laphroaig is a whiskey you either love or hate, which is also confirmed by its long-standing motto: "Savoured by a few, but truly loved by those who do." | Bottle | Laphroaig Aged 30 Years is a single malt whisky aged for at least 30 years. During this extended maturation, the whisky gains greater depth and finesse, balancing the iconic medicinal notes and peat smoke characteristic of the Laphroaig distillery.Nose: Rich and intense, with pronounced medicinal notes of smoke, sweet vanilla, honey, and oak from long aging in bourbon and sherry casks.Taste: Full, smooth, and complex, combining peat smoke and sweetness with notes of toffee, dried fruit, and spice, complemented by characteristic iodine and salty notes.Finish: Long and warm, with lingering notes of peat, sweet oak, and spices that gradually develop into a subtle sweetness.The auctioned bottle is one of 2,500 produced in 2007 and is presented in a luxurious wooden box, highlighting the exclusivity of this limited edition.

Operating in such a remote location was expensive and the lack of a direct connection to the mainland contributed to its closure for over six decades.In 1963 the distillery saw a renaissance thanks to the efforts of Robin Fletcher and Tony Riley-Smith, who in collaboration with blender Charles Mackinlay and designer William Delme-Evans reinvigorated island distillation. The aim of this move was to support the island's economy and stop the population decline.The distillery started selling its single malt whiskey in 1974 and gradually expanded its range. In 2002, Superstition whiskey was launched, adding a slightly smoky character, followed in 2009 by the fully peated edition of Prophecy. In 2018, Jura underwent a complete rebrand, introducing a new range of whiskeys with a subtle smoky touch, including the base version Jura Journey, 10-year, 12-year and 18-year whiskeys, and special editions such as Jura Seven Wood. | Bottle | Isle of Jura 1996 is a single malt whisky distilled in November 1996 at the Isle of Jura Distillery and bottled by independent bottler Ian Macleod in 2008 as part of the Dun Bheagan series.

Like all late Victorian distilleries, its fate was inextricably linked to the production of blended whiskey from the beginning. As a single malt, its whiskey was virtually non-existent.It was closed in 1995 due to redundancy and remained dormant until 2001, when it was acquired by Murray McDavid, led by Mark Reynier and Simon Coughlin. The team was joined by the legendary Jim McEwan who left Bowmore to become Master Distiller and help revive the distillery. McEwan played a key role in experimenting with different types of casks, local barley and levels of malt smoking. This saw the introduction of Port Charlotte peat whiskey and the revolutionary Octomore, as well as The Botanist gin, which uses Islay herbs.In 2012, the distillery was bought by Remy Cointreau, which still owns it today. | Bottle | Bruichladdich Aged 7 Years Waves 1st Edition is a single malt whisky that was aged for 7 years and bottled in 2006. The whisky was first aged in bourbon casks and then finished in Madeira wine casks. This edition features a mild to medium peaty undertone, which is unusual for contemporary Bruichladdich, as peated whiskies are typically released under the Port Charlotte and Octomore brands. A slight trace of peat adds a "seaside" character to the whisky, as the name "Waves" suggests.Nose: Notes of raisin, cranberry, and vanilla, with a subtle hint of peat smoke and a touch of fresh sea spray.Taste: Fine malt base with spices, cranberries, hints of vanilla, sweet licorice, and a light minty undertone.Finish: Medium length, sweet, with a subtle peaty reverberation, spices, and notes of berry fruit.
