Clynelish 2 was built to replace the dated Brora facility, which was struggling to keep up with the increasing demand placed upon it by the surging popularity of the Johnnie Walker blend. However, only a year after it was decommissioned Brora was pressed back into service, this time making heavily peated whisky to pick up the slack for Johnnie Walker while Caol Ila distillery on Islay was being renovated. Eventually the distillery’s owners decided it was no longer required, and in 1983 the site was mothballed once more. But that wasn’t the end. As the years have rolled by, demand for Brora as a single malt has steadily grown, resulting in owners, Diageo, announcing plans in 2017 to reopen the distillery. "Just fantastic.

MORTLACH 21 YEAR OLD GORDON & MACPHAIL SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT 43% ABV / 70cl Dubbed “the Beast of Dufftown” by whisky writer, Dave Broom, Mortlach uses a complicated distillation process that minimises copper contact and produces a sulphurous “meaty” spirit that is perfect for blending (not unlike Benrinnes and Dailuaine). Until relatively recently, the only way to experience it in single malt form would have been the 16-Year-Old Flora & Fauna, or the occasional independent bottling. This was because most of its output was used for Diageo’s Johnnie Walker blend. However, that all changed in 2014 when Mortlach introduced its own core range of single malt expressions.

Attributed to William Smellie Watson, RSA,  Scottish 1796-1874- Portrait of Sir William Heygate, 1st Baronet (1782-1844), seated half-length, wearing the robes of the Chamberlain of the City of London and holding a scroll; oil on canvas, bears partially obscured old label inscribed 'Sir William Heygate 1st Bart / b.1782. d.1844. / Painter. Wm. [Watson.] / in robes of Chamberlain of City of London.' attached to the reverse of the frame, 91.7 x 71 cm. Provenance:  The Collection of Sir William Heygate, 1st Baronet;  Thence by descent. Note:  Sir William Heygate was the Lord Mayor of London from 1822-23, and also served as the MP for Sudbury from 1818-1826. The present portrait depicts him wearing the fur-trimmed robes of the Chamberlain of the City of London, a position which he held in the final year of his life, from 1843-44.  The present work very convincingly resembles Watson's stately portraits of prominent politicians, businessmen, doctors and artists in 19th-century Britain. These include sitters such at Sir James Forrest of Comiston (1780–1860) Bt., Lord Provost of Edinburgh and Chairman of Life Association of Scotland, William Walker (1813-1885), President of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, and his own father George Watson (1766-1837), First President of the Royal Scottish Academy.

Circle of Charles Towne,  British 1763-1840- Donkeys with a goat and cattle by a river; oil on canvas, 40.7 x 53.4 cm. Provenance:  The Elliston Family, Suffolk; and thence by descent. Note:  The present composition resembles Towne's idealised pastoral landscapes, with a number of similar works by Towne in the collection of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, and in The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum, Cheltenham [1953.169].

William Holman Hunt, OM RWS,  British 1827-1910- A portrait of the artist's son, Hilary Lushington Holman Hunt, in profile; coloured chalks on buff paper, signed with monogram and dated '18 Whh 97' (lower left), 53 x 37.6 cm. Provenance:  (Probably) sold by the trustees of Hilary Holman Hunt by Charles Hawkins & Sons at The Rookery, Rockland All Saints, Norfolk, 5 June 1951, lot 190 (part);  where purchased by Leger Galleries, London.  Anon. sale, Christie's, London, 31 October 1978, lot 47.  where purchased by Julian Hartnoll, London.  Anon. sale, Sotheby's, Belgravia, 11 December 1979, lot 15a.  Private Collection.  with Southgate Gallery, Shifnal (gallery open 1979-1985) [no.9014].  Anon. sale, Christie's, London, 11 December 2018, lot 135 (part); where purchased by the present owner. Exhibited:  Shifnal, 1980. Literature: J. Bronkhurst, 'William Holman Hunt. A Catalogue Raisonné', 2006, p.209, no.D426 (illustrated). O.J.W. von Schleinitz, 'William Holman Hunt (Künstler-Monographien vol. LXXXVIII)', Bielefeld and Leipzig, 1907, p.129, pl.125.  W. Holman Hunt, 'Pre-Raphaelitism and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood', 2nd ed., London, 1913, vol. II, p.311 (illustrated).  Note:  The sitter, Hilary, was the artist's son by his second wife, Edith (1846-1931), and served as the model for a number of Holman Hunt's paintings, including 'Master Hilary - The Tracer' now in a private collection, and as the Christ Child in 'Triumph of the Innocents', in the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool [WAG 2115]. The present work is a striking example of the artist's sensitive, softly-shaded chalk portraits, much like Holman Hunt's portrait of Hilary's mother, Edith, in the collection of the Tate Galleries [T12881]. It also recalls his slightly smaller portrait of Annie Miller, also in profile, which sold at Sotheby's, London, on 5 July 2023, as lot 61 for £76,200. The sitter is shown here at the age of seventeen or eighteen and his features very much reveal his close resemblance to his half-brother Cyril.
