Ardbeg Double Barrel
Summary title
A warm welcome to our August auction
Summary subtitle
An extraordinary line-up of old and rare whiskies awaits.
Summary
Leading the way is the highly sought-after Macallan 1960 Fine & Rare 15 Year Old, limited to just 57 bottles – the fifth release in this revered series – alongside the exceptionally rare Royal Brackla 1924 60 Year Old. Distilled a century ago and bottled six decades later, this singular Highland malt was produced in minuscule numbers, with only 62 bottles ever filled.
 
Collectors of Islay whisky will be drawn to the Ardbeg 1974 Double Barrel, a strikingly unique release presented in handblown glass bottles, paired in leather cases with sterling silverware. This month we are delighted to feature both the USA and Asia editions.
 
Other standouts include The Macallan Red 74 Year Old, a remarkable celebration of the colour intertwined with the distillery’s history; legendary Springbank bottlings from the 1960s–70s golden era; and the O.F.C. 1916 Pre-Prohibition Bourbon – distilled at what is now known as Buffalo Trace, then operating under its original name O.F.C. (Old Fire Copper). Produced before Prohibition and bottled during it as a prescribed “medicinal whiskey,” this remarkable bourbon is a true rarity from America’s early 20th-century whiskey history.
 
This month we are also delighted to present a special collection of 40+ lots from a single owner. Highlights include the Bowmore 1964 Black Bowmore Final Edition, Balvenie Vintage Cask 1967 and 1973 editions, and a trio of incredibly old and rare Glen Grant bottlings dating from the 1930s through to the 1950s – alongside many more. Explore the full collection in our August Auction.

In compliance with EU Directive 2020/262, an excise charge will be applied to all EU Lots (per bottle) for clients based within the EU. This is a legally required charge for alcohol shipments from our Netherlands operations.

If your items are being shipped, this will be calculated during the checkout process. The amount is calculated based on the bottle's size, ABV (alcohol content) and the duty rate of the destination country. It ensures your purchase is fully compliant with local regulations. 

To find the duty rate for alcohol in your country, you can consult the Taxes in Europe Database (TEDB) provided by the European Commission
