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.

One was a Malt Maniacs award winner … another earned some Whisky Mag accolade.

5 Glenfiddich Ultimate 70cl 40% Distillery Bottling 1 decanter in presentation box 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.

Speyside 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.

24 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.

Macallan Diamond Jubilee - 60 year old - 1952 70cl 52% Distillery Bottling

Macallan - 41 year old - 1967 70cl 43% 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.

Another in Gordon & Macphail's series of extraordinary old Strathisla, this one was distilled in 1960 and bottled a full five decades later.

Dalmore Ceti - 30 year old 70 cl 45 % 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.

Shinanoya 5th Anniversary series: "The Game IV" is a real showstopper of a whisky and one of only a handful of Japanese whiskies finished in rum wood. A long "finish" but well worth it. Shinanoya's spirits buyer knew he wanted this cask immediately when he tasted it. He also knew immediately this was going to be the cask to close the anniversary series with. Talk about confidence.

Asama Blended Whisky Produced by Ocean Whisky 72cl – ships bottle Released in 1970's

Asama Blended Whisky Produced by Ocean Whisky 76cl 43%

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.

141 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$1,200-1,500 142 Lagarde Bas Armagnac Selection This is singled distilled from grapes sourced from the Laquy village area, creating a rounded, supple, medium bodies spirit with delicate floral and citrus notes.

75cl / 40% volume HK$3,000-4,000 143 Lagarde Bas Armagnac Reserve It features the subtle aromas of plums, peaches and nuts with a touch of citrus peel and prune. The palate is smooth and rich with an incredibly long, warming finish.
