AN EVENING OF EXCEPTIONAL SPIRITS AND ACCESSORIES
Dear Connoisseurs
First I would like to express a heartfelt welcome to Spink’s first “spirits & collectible accessories”
auction.
There are two interesting dictionary descriptions:
Spirits - Strong distilled alcoholic liquor such as brandy, rum, whisky, or gin
Spiritual - Relating to the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical matters
The origin of the word Spirit actually comes from the old French word esprit, and from a
Latin word spīritus, both meaning breath and spirit.
There is certainly a beautiful connection between them and when it comes to old and rare
whisky and cognac such as what we are offering in these pages … there seems to be a
spirituality in these old spirits that is beautiful to both taste and breath.
Spink Fine Wines hope that whether you are a collector, investor or a simple hedonistic
drinker you will enjoy the offerings in this sale.
Sláinte (Scottish Gaelic, pronounced slahn-ch ) "health"

casks from 1972 numbered in the low 700s (this one now is
718) that were … simply put … awesome. One was a Malt

Glenfiddich Ultimate represents the pinnacle of our exceptional whiskies, distilling 125 years of experience into an exclusive
and rare expression produced in small vattings. Aged 38 years old, this sublime single malt comes in a special decanter cast in
flawless, hand-blown lead crystal. Each bottle is hand-numbered and accompanied by a brass identification card. Only 600
were ever made for the China market. This expression is deliciously smooth and the colour of rich gold, with a wood spiciness
imparted by sherry butts, complemented by layers of creamy vanilla and rich flavours of caramelised fruit.

For reasons not even Science can wholly explain …
Whisky has always matured best in oak casks that have contained sherry. Due to increasing expense and scarcity, other distilleries
no longer insist on sherry casks. THE MACALLAN DIRECTORS DO.
Journeying annually to the bodegas of Jerez, they buy fresh oak casks into which they pour mature, carefully chosen sherries, then
keep them for two further years in Spain before having them shipped over to be filled with whisky. The results are shown partly
in the Macallan’s rich golden colour, partly in the ‘nose’ and wholly may we venture in the tumbler.

The Macallan Coronation Bottling
In Celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation
A limited edition commemorative release from The Macallan featuring two quite different, 35cl bottles of sherried Speyside whisky.
Only 1953 bottles have been produced for the UK market to mark the 60th anniversary of Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953, with
the Windsor red, blue and gold packaging having been designed by David Holmes.
The golden whisky features an iconic photo of the Queen in 1953, taken by Cecil Beaton, and was matured in American Oak
whilst the bottle with the deep bronze (mahogany in the bottle) hue features a portrait taken by Julian Calder in 2004 and is
matured in European Oak casks from Spain.
Cecil Beaton Bottle (58.1%)
Nose: Initial Sherry gives way to lightly salted cashew nuts, Sun-Maid raisins and orange oil. Wine gums and banana
develop on a rich, syrupy nose.
Palate: Dignified but creamy oak and spice with sultanas. Creamy Wine Gums again on the tail with a little water.
Finish: Pleasing, subtle oak and a touch of cherry.
Overall: Majestic.
Julian Calder Bottle (55.7%)
Nose: A sweet, rich start becomes more substantial with dark oak notes and honeycomb. A little water opens this
up for fuller, rich, dark Christmas cake, dates and demerara.
Palate: Oak intensity is saved by exquisite espresso. Again, water helps here, revealing prunes, dates and tobacco.
Finish: Long with oak and cocoa.
Overall: Magisterial.

Bottled by Gordon & Macphail
This is a limited edition sherry-matured bottling of Macallan
for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and suitably only 2012
bottles were made to commemorate the year. The casks
selected were taken from relevant dates, for example the 6th
of February (the date of the Queen’s accession) and the first
week of June (when Jubilees tend to be celebrated). If this was
not enough it has been bottled at 52% ABV as a reference to
the year of the Queen’s coronation. Is that enough figures in
one whisky?
This Speyside whisky was distilled by The Macallan in 1967.
Bottled and released by Gordon & Macphail this is a good
example of an indie bottling of The Macallan. At a volume
of 43% ABV this whisky is bottled at an optimal drinking
strength.

Gordon & Macphail Bottling
Strathisla is one of those great Speyside distilleries (like
Glenfarclas, Macallan, Glen Grant etc) with a spirit capable
of immense ageing. This Gordon and Macphail bottling is
astonishing value for money for a fifty-year-old malt.
Another in Gordon & Macphail's series of extraordinary old
Strathisla, this one was distilled in 1960 and bottled a full
five decades later.

Distillery Bottling
This is not a whisky many will ever get to taste. The whisky is aged for 23 years in white oak, ex-bourbon casks, before moving
into 30-year-old, Oloroso sherry casks. On the palate the liquid is smooth, sweet and rounded. Spice, vanilla and honey come
together harmoniously and linger in the mouth and the mind for an absurd length of time, it has everything.

Rare Single Malt and Whisky from Japan
Property of a gentleman, all bottles lying in Hong Kong.
Karuizawa (軽井沢) Distillery
Karuizawa Distillery was established in 1955 in the foothills of Mount Asama (淺間山), an active volcano north-west of
Tokyo, to make a single malt whisky in as traditional a manner as possible.
At 850 metres above sea level, the distillery is the highest in Japan; low temperatures and high humidity provided an ideal
micro-climate for whisky production. The Karuizawa Distillery ceased production in 2000, and was officially closed in 2011.
Therefore Karuizawa became one of the legendary single malts no longer produced in Japan.
Karuizawa whiskies have received numerous awards in the recent years and because of their extremely limited availability, they
are heavily sought after by private collectors.

cask immediately when he tasted it. He also knew immediately this was going to be the cask to close the anniversary

Hanyu Distillery stopped distilling in the year 2000. Which
makes this one of the last whiskies to be distilled at Hanyu.

Karuizawa is Japan’s smallest whisky distillery, producing
just 150,000 litres of spirit a year. It is situated to the west
of the town of Karuizawa, which is a popular mountain
resort for Tokyo highflyers. Karuizawa whisky is rare, due to
the low production capacity and the distillery prides itself on
its use of traditional whisky making methods. They import
Golden Promise barley from Scotland, which was historically
the most common barley used there and mature their whisky
mostly in sherry casks imported from Spain. The water used
in production has flowed through or over the volcanic lava
rock and soil that surround the distillery, giving it a unique
quality. Early releases were mostly blends appearing under
the ‘Sanraku Ocean’ brand name, a 1970's favorite.
Released in 1987 commemorating the 120th Anniversary of
Port of Kobe.

"timeless" by Hennessy
Hennessy "timeless" was created in 1999 to showcase the company’s past and look forward to the future
promised by the new Millennium. Sadly only 2000 bottles of this nectar were released - but quality
such as this just can't be mass-produced. Blended from 11 of the finest vintages of the 20th century
(1900, 1918, 1929, 1939, 1947, 1953, 1959, 1961, 1970, 1983 and 1990 vintages) and overseen by master
blender Yann Fillioux, this is a stunning connoisseur's cognac.
The beautiful pebble-shaped crystal decanter for Hennessy "timeless" was designed by Thomas Bastide of
Baccarat, France’s most prestigious crystal house. Captured in an eye-catching steel frame, the Timeless
decanter caused a sensation on release and is today recognised as a genuine design classic that many have
sought to emulate, but most have failed to achieve.
Producer's Tasting Notes:
Colour: Luminous golden colour and exceptionally bright for such a cognac. Each eau-de-vie in "timeless", through its extraordinary quality and ageing potential, has benefited from being aged in barrels
with a very low tannin content.
Only this type of ageing favours the perfect, natural blossoming of aromas of those eaux-de-vie which are
suited to a long ageing period.
Aromas: Delightful aromatic bouquet, a blend of fresh floral and fruit aromas quickly giving way to the
headier scents of cinnamon and spices.
On the palate: An astonishing balance born of the marriage of lively sharp fruit flavours and the more
complex notes of antique leather, oak and pepper. A very harmonious combination with good length.

Saint-Vivant Armagnac
A smooth, high quality brandy. Made in France, it has a full flavor and a rich tradition that dates back to 1559 when St
Vivant de la Salle produced the first bottle of Armagnac Brandy. The famous "crooked bottle" recalls the original bottles used
by St Vivant. Today, St Vivant still uses select white wine grapes, native to the southwestern French region of Gascony. These
grapes are fermented and distilled in a traditional copper pot still. The resulting spirits are aged in oak casks until they are
transformed into a full-flavored 80 proof brandy. The St Vivant cellar master then begins his delicate task of blending the
brandy until he achieves the St Vivant Armagnac's smooth, consistent flavor and golden amber color.

all add up to a rich and vivid chapter of our social history."
