SCAPA 1993 | Distilled: 1993 | Bottled: 2006 | ABV: 40% | Region: Islands - Orkney | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Volume: 700 ml | Condition: traces of mold | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: paper box | Bottle code: JF/AGI | Estimate: 4 000 - 5 000 Kc | Distillery | Scapa is a Scottish whiskey distillery located in the Orkney Islands, near the town of Kirkwall. It was founded in 1885 by blender John Townsend, who took advantage of the growing interest in blended whiskey at the end of the 19th century. In 1919, the distillery was damaged by fire, but was rebuilt soon after. In 1936 it was bought by the Bloch brothers, who also owned the Glen Scotia and Glengyle distilleries.In 1959, a Lomond still type still was installed in the distillery, which allowed finer control over the distillation process and contributed to the creation of a whiskey with a more pronounced and richer in character. The still was in operation until 1979.The distillery was officially closed in 1994, but distilling operations were occasionally resumed by a team from the neighboring Highland Park Distillery. In 2004, a £2.1 million investment was announced to refurbish the distillery and a 14-year-old whiskey was launched at the same time. In 2005, the renovation was completed and the distillery became part of the Pernod Ricard company. The occasion saw a change in bottle design and an increase in the bottled whiskey age from 14 to 16 years.In 2015, a visitor center was opened and the distillery expanded its range of whiskey. Today, Scapa is known for its fine whiskey with a distinct character that sets it apart from peated Orkney whiskeys such as Highland Park. | Bottle | Scapa 1993 is a single malt whisky, distilled in 1993 and bottled in 2006 by independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail as part of their Licensed Bottling series. Gordon & MacPhail’s Licensed Bottling series is distinguished by the fact that each release is bottled with official permission from the distilleries, meaning these whiskies authentically reflect the style and character of each distillery.Nose: Lightly marine, with notes of vanilla and honey, complemented by subtle fruit hints of pears and apples.Taste: Balanced and smooth, with flavors of sweet honey, vanilla, dried fruit, and gentle oak undertones.Finish: Smooth and medium in length, with lingering sweetness and a subtle woody character.This bottling is highly regarded for its smoothness and approachable profile as an Orkney whisky.

MORTLACH 1988 MISSION GOLD SERIES 18 YEARS OLD | Distilled: 1988 | Bottled: 2007 | Stated age: 18 years old | ABV: 55,3% | Region: Speyside | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Volume: 700 ml | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: metal tube | Estimate: 4 000 - 5 000 Kc | Distillery | Mortlach is a Scottish distillery located in the Speyside region, specifically in the town of Dufftown, which was founded in 1823 by James Findlater, Donald Mackintosh and Alex Gordon, and after a short period in the hands of the Grant brothers of Glen Grant, came into the hands of George Cowie and his son Alexander, who revived whiskey production in the 1850s and made Mortlach one of the most important distilleries whose whiskey was key for some blended whiskies. The distillery remained in the hands of the Cowie family until 1923, when it became part of John Walker & Sons and was later incorporated into DCL, now Diageo.Mortlach is known for its unique distillation process in which the whiskey is distilled 2 .81 times, which creates a heavier distillate with a rich meaty character. While other fleshy spirits (such as Benrinnes and Dailuaine) have similar characteristics, none of them match the robustness of Mortlach, which, to this day, makes it a highly prized base for blended whiskey (Johnnie Walker). As a result, there was little stock available for single malt whiskey and apart from occasional independent bottlings and small batches of 16-year-old whiskey in Diageo's Flora & Fauna range, it did not make much of an appearance. | Bottle | Mortlach 1988 is a single malt whisky distilled in 1988 and bottled in 2007 as part of the Mission Gold series by independent bottler Murray McDavid. This 18-year-old whisky was matured solely in bourbon casks and bottled at cask strength, without chill filtration or added coloring, preserving its authentic character.Nose: A combination of vanilla and ripe fruit, such as apple and honeydew melon, with a light touch of oak and floral notes.Taste: Sweet with flavors of fruit jam, complemented by notes of spice and a malty character. A subtle influence of salt lingers on the palate, gradually developing.Finish: Medium-long and balanced, with a malty character and a gentle hint of saltiness that adds depth.The auctioned bottle is no. 773 of 1200 and is a sought-after collector's item within the Mission Gold range for its distinctive Mortlach profile.

GLENLIVET 18 YEARS OLD | Stated age: 18 years old | ABV: 43% | Region: Speyside | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Volume: 700 ml | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: paper box | Bottle code: LW10714/08/07/01 15:13 | Estimate: 2 000 - 3 000 Kc | Distillery | Glenlivet is an iconic Scottish distillery located in the Speyside region, with a history dating back to 1824 when it was founded by George Smith. It was one of the first distilleries to obtain a legal license following the passage of the Excise Act of 1823, allowing it to produce whiskey legally. This move to legalize whiskey production was met with resistance from local illegal producers at the time, but Glenlivet quickly became a model for other distilleries. It is known for its fine spirit, which is characterized by notes of apples and malt.Thanks to its quality, Glenlivet soon became one of the most popular whiskies, not only in Scotland, but also on the international scene. Already in the 1830s, it was popular in London, especially among the upper classes of society. The Glenlivet name gained such prestige that other Speyside distilleries began to use its name. This dispute led to a legal battle which George Smith won, resulting in only Glenlivet being allowed to use the name "The Glenlivet".In 1978 the distillery was incorporated into Seagram. When Pernod Ricard bought Seagram's whiskey portfolio in 2001, Glenlivet became the global group's key brand. Under the management of Pernod Ricard, Glenlivet has grown to become one of the best-selling single malt whiskeys in the world.Today, Glenlivet offers a wide range of bottlings, including the famous 12-year-old, 15-year-old, 18-year-old, 21-year-old and 25-year-old whiskies.

The name comes from a Gaelic expression meaning "valley of calm". It was originally a brewery for the town of Tain until William Matheson converted it to a distillery in 1843. Records show that as early as the late 19th century it was sold in luxury hotels such as The Savoy, a testament to its quality at the time.In 1959, after a brief hiatus, it returned as a single malt whiskey and quickly became the best seller in Scotland. Glenmorangie is famous for its tall 'giraffe' stills which produce a fine, fruity and sweet spirit. Thanks to the innovations of Dr. Today, Billa Lumsden is also known for its experimental limited editions, using different varieties of barley and types of whiskey barrels.Since 2004, the distillery has been owned by the French company Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH). | Bottle | Glenmorangie 25 Years Old "Quarter Century" is a unique single malt whisky that combines aging in multiple cask types to achieve a complex and refined profile.

SPEYBURN SOLERA 25 YEARS OLD | Stated age: 25 years old | ABV: 46% | Region: Highland | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Volume: 700 ml | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: paper tube, traces of mold and rust on the cap | Bottle code: P006045 6039 09:53 L15 | Estimate: 4 000 - 6 000 Kc | Distillery | Speyburn is a Scottish whiskey distillery located in a narrow valley opposite Glen Grant Distillery. It opened in 1897 and was designed by the famous local architect Charles Doig, who is known as the inventor of the iconic pagoda, a characteristic feature of Scotch distilleries. This pagoda was used to ventilate the malting kilns that were essential to whiskey production. Doig also introduced the first pneumatic malthouses in the Highlands, making whiskey production more efficient and reducing reliance on traditional malting floors. These malthouses were in operation until 1968.The distillate has a characteristic sulphurousness, which is the result of the use of traditional "worm tubs" (coolers). These coolers create an environment where heavier, sulphurous notes naturally develop in the distillate. However, during barrel aging, these sulphurous elements gradually mellow and transform, revealing the softer, more aromatic profile that is characteristic of Speyburn.In recent years, Speyburn has made a significant presence in the American market, where it is promoted as affordable single malt whisky. Although the lower price brought significant sales growth to the brand, its reputation suffered in part. Despite this, Speyburn ranks among the top 10 single malt whiskies, although it remains relatively unknown and underappreciated in some parts of the world. | Bottle | Speyburn Aged 25 Years Solera is a single malt whisky aged in a combination of American oak fino sherry and bourbon casks, using the solera method. Solera maturation provides consistency to the whisky's profile and imparts richness while preserving a balanced and delicate character, appealing to both connoisseurs and fans of complex yet subtler whiskies.Nose: Sweet honey notes with floral aromas and hints of citrus fruits.Taste: Full and sweet at the start, with flavors of caramel, vanilla, and dried fruit (raisins), creating a well-balanced taste.Finish: Long, warm, and sweet, with lingering hints of licorice and toffee.

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).

This long-standing family supervision allows Glenfarclas to maintain traditional production methods and a careful approach to distillation, which is reflected in the character of their whisky.The Grants are known for their careful business strategy and thoughtful approach to growth. As George Grant, the sixth generation of the family says, "We've been through 22 recessions. We only make what we can afford and we never borrow to make it." This attitude allowed the distillery to increase its stock even when others were cutting production, ensuring it had enough older whiskeys to sell.
