JANUARY 17, 2014 - HONG KONG Spink Fine Wines is honored to present on behalf of a gentleman an impressive Macallan 麥卡倫 Gold Label “vertical collection” from 1965 to 1980 All bottles lying in Hong Kong. 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.

Rare Single Malt from Scotland Property of a gentleman, all bottles lying in Hong Kong.
17 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. Two bottles in presentation box in perfect condition

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 mteres 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.
28 Karuizawa Kohaku 10 year old Single Malt Whisky
29 Karuizawa Noh 27 year old
A discontinued whisky, Kohaku Single Malt is created by artisans sticking to quality not to mass production, aged 10 years in Sherry Butt Cask.
Karuizawa Noh 27 year old Japanese single malt whiskey, multi-vintage batch #1 is a mix of four sherry casks from 1981/82/83/84 bottled October 2011.

30 Karuizawa 1969 Vintage 42 year old Cask #8183, a truly hand-crafted malt, distilled Dec 1969 and bottled Aug 2012 Very few 1960’s casks of Karuizawa have been rescued from this lost distillery, the oldest one dating back to 1960. This one is a 400 litre ex-bourbon cask, most likely the oldest of this type. Nose: very bold bourbon oak influence. Different sorts of warm wood, sandalwood, cedar from cigar boxes, some thuja … This kind of oakiness is elegant and matches the oriental character, there’s also varnish and solventy notes. Leather. Underneath it has apricot jam, yellow plums and vanilla-coated berry cake, touches of mint, with floral overtones. Mouth: this is where the wood starts to show more astringency. Fruits are now heavily infused fruit tea. Slightly tangy ginger and clove as well, a little coconut oil. Unfortunately also a planky note which coats your mouth and a little tobacco sourness. Orange peel. Spruce needles, again some flowery touches. Finish: long, quite floral and heady. Mint and traces of the apricot jam. 70cl Single Malt, 61.3% volume

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. 72cl – ships bottle

Armagnac Property of a gentleman, all bottles lying in Hong Kong.
110 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. 75cl / 40% volume HK$2,000-2,500

Port Property of a gentleman, all bottles lying in bond in the United Kingdom. 235 Sandeman Port 1977 Nice mahogany color. Prominent flavors of hazelnut, figs, quince jelly and toffee, with some floral notes as well. Still quite a few years of life left in this vintage, given proper storage. 75cl 12 bottles (owc) HK$7,500-8,500 236 Croft Port 1977 Another excellent port from Croft that rivals other top producers. The 1977 Port is now fully mature. The port is rich, creamy and intense. Wonderful! Parker 88/100 (excellent) Drink now until 2020. 75cl 12 bottles (owc) HK$6,000-7,000 237 Croft Port 1982 Very pale and obviously stretched in colour, almost a deep rosĂŠ at the centre and turning tawny on the rim; clean, some fragrance but not much richness or depth, rather hollow and attenuated, soft fruit pastille character both on the nose and palate, still tasting quite fresh, a touch of medicinal raspberry and strawberry character with just a vestige of bitter-sweet tannic grip remaining. Falls away quite quickly on the finish leaving rather simple fruit pastille sweetness. 75cl 12 bottles (owc) HK$5,000-6,000 238 Gould Campbell Port 1983 This is a delicious Vintage Port for which primary power has been replaced by the complex and reassuring notes of maturity. Deep dark red/black center, good legs, red rim with only modest signs of age. Strong blackberry and boysenberry, grapey, balanced, stones. Sweet and smooth, blackberry, nicely integrated alcohol, dusty, smoked bacon, balancing acidity and some tannin, great length (of dark red fruits). Fantastic Gould Campbell drinking well now, but still quite young in many ways, will last for another ten years at least. 75cl 12 bottles (owc) HK$5,000-6,000 239 Grahams Port 1994 Celebrated for its luscious sweet style, Graham's 1994 is typically grandiose in design. The nose is starting to open out, with crushed berries and hints of pepper to the fore. On the palate sweet chocolate and brambly fruit are tempered by tightly-knit tannins and spice. This is a polished and stylish wine with a long life ahead. Parker 96/100 75cl 12 bottles (owc) HK$6,000-7,000
