Did you know? – Grappa & Eaux-de-Vie Grappa & eaux-de-vie primarily serve as “digestifs”, or after-dinner drinks, in theory to aid digestion. Grappa is a spirit from Italy made of grape pomace brandy, pomace being the solid remains of grapes after pressing for juice, notably in the wine-making process. Eauxde vie-are fruit brandies in general and can be produced across the world. German Schnaps, French Poire Williamine, French Calvados are some examples of eaux-de-vie.

Often the work of very small producers and not easily available outside their region of origin, good grappas and eaux-de-vie are often the pride of spirits aficionados and collectors across the world.

GRAPPA Did you know? – About Romano Levi In the land of big Italian red wines – Piemonte – also lies one of the most mythical grappa distillery: the Levi Serafino Distillery.

Romano Levi was an orphan who lived a reclusive life in Neive, Piemonte where he dedicated his life to grappa, and to watching the sunset every single evening! He meticulously produced very few bottles every year (the rumour speaks about less than 300 bottles a year) in a very traditional manner.

Romano Levi personally painted by hand each and every label for his bottles. His stick characters like "la donna selvatica" (the "wild woman") became symbolic of the Levi grappa.

1

The Levi grappa was of high quality and scarce, and not easy to get hold of! Rumor has it that Romano Levi denied giving bottles to sport celebrities or food and wine legends, when they showed up at his door.

Romano Levi sadly passed away in 2008. Today, the Levi distillery is still in operations but Romano had no children and grappa connoisseurs all agree Romano’s legacy has long gone. Today, the labels are photocopied and colored in.

An artisan and an artist, Romano Levi is widely remembered as The Grappa Legend. Each bottle pre 2008 is one of a kind and have become collectors’ pieces, to be proudly taken out at the end of a great dinner with friends.

Did you know? – Morand’s Williamine Williamine® is a trademark of the Swiss distillery Morand. It has gained the status of a cult. It is said that, the same way cognacs or whiskes have a preferred native soil, the best pear eaux-de-vie come from the Valais, a region in Switzerland in which the most well-known Swiss touristic landmark the Matterhorn is located. Undoubtedly, the Williamine has a distinctive fragrance so evocative of the Valais region in Switzerland, the one and the natural wonders of its alpine landscape.

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO

Did you know? - About Trinidad’s Caroni rums In the 18th century, the Caroni Sugar Factory was the largest and most productive holding in Trinidad. In 1918 the Caroni distillery was established, dealing with the distillation and bottling of rum and became quickly renowned throughout the world for producing one of the finest heavy rums, receiving high praise from the British Navy.

In 2000s though, the closing of the nearby state owned sugar refinery resulted in the gradual decline of the Trinidad sugarcane production and it was only a matter of time before the Caroni distillery was shut down shortly after. With the last few bottles still available in the market survives the legend of Caroni.

該系列的麥芽威士忌愈見罕有。業內專家估計，負 責該系列的釀酒廠已不再營運，大部分並將在未來 4-5年內消失，其出品極具收藏價值！

Did you know? – The ‘Lost’ Distilleries In the 1800's there were close to three hundred distilleries in Scotland. Like any other industry, however, the category saw a huge consolidation process over time, with socio and economic factors leading to regular mergers and closures.

The poor socio-economic climate of the inter-war period in Europe, combined to a lesser extent to the prohibition era in the USA, saw close to 70 distilleries closing or remaining silent for decades. In the 80’s again, sales of whisky drastically dropped, inevitably causing a new wave of about 25 distilleries closing.

The stock of few of these closed distilleries was sold to collectors or independent bottlers, which has made it possible to still find some stock available today, mostly for the delight of whisky aficionados and collectors.

It is very difficult, however, to know how much stock from each of these “lost distilleries” is still out there, and in fact, the rumour has it that the stock levels are now very low and hence, whisky experts expect that most of these distilleries will disappear within the next 4-5 years... this time for good!

Most of the single malts in this section may never be seen again. They are whiskies from another era; some are from distilleries no longer in operation, others from distilleries that no longer exist. They offer whisky aficionados & collectors an exclusive opportunity to own a little piece of Scotland´s liquid history.

BRORA, HIGHLANDS

23 Brora 1979, 30 Year Old Distilled in 1979 at Brora Distillery. Aged 30 years.

Bottled in 2009 by Coastal Highland.

Limited Bottling – Bottle 0728 of 2652.

Natural Cask Strength.

53.2%, 70cl.

Starting Price: HK$9,000

Did you know? - Brora Established in 1819, Brora was initially known as Clynelish. Enjoying immense popularity from its inception, it wasn’t used in the production of blended scotch on the contrary to most other malts back then, but was sold instead only to private customers!

Following two periods of silence in 1931-38 and 1941-45, the demand finally went up again post WWII, notably driven by very high orders from blenders. A second Clynelish distillery was opened, under the same name, this time to produce heavily peated whisky for blending purposes.

For regulation purposes, the original distillery was forced to close down in the 60’s (the date is uncertain) before re-opening under the new name Brora. Brora eventually closed down for good in the whisky slump of the 1980’s.

Brora’s malts produced between 1969 and 1983 are extremely soughtafter. So are Diageo (Brora’s last owner) releases of Brora 30 Year Old as it is known that their stocks are certainly drying up very fast…

BANFF, SPEYSIDE Did you know? - Banff The Banff industry was founded in 1863 on the site of an old Banff distillery dating 1824. On May 1977, the production facilities of the young distillery were devastated by fire (the warehouse luckily remained unscathed). Its owner, however, wasted no time, started reconstruction immediately and even expanded the distillery as he was eager to meet the huge demand increase the industry was experiencing back then. He also invested in his own fire engine after the reconstruction, which secured uninterrupted production of whisky for Banff for a few decades.

Banff was acquired by the Distillers Company Ltd (‘DCL’) in 1932 and shut straight after. The premises were bombed by the Germans in 1941. Post WWII, however, the distillery was repaired and re-opened.

Despite a massive explosion, it was continuously operational until 1983, when it was finally closed, together with ten other malt whisky distilleries owned by DCL. As of today, nothing remains from Banff as the last remaining warehouse was destroyed by another fire in 1991.

Did you know? – Glenury Royal The Glenury distillery was established in 1825. In 1835, the distillery was able to secure permission from King William IV to attach the epithet 'Royal' as a suffix to the name, a privilege shared only by two other distilleries: Royal Lochnagar and Royal Brackla.

The distillery was silent in 1852-58, 1938-1953 and in 1983 before being finally closed for good in 1985. The distillery was demolished a few years later.

Glenury Royal malts are appreciated for their spiciness and fruitiness.

LADYBURN, LOWLANDS Did you know? – Ladyburn / Ayrshire Sometimes also found under the name Ayrshire, after the council area of Scotland in which Girvan is found.

Ladyburn was in fact produced from a set of pot stills in a corner of the Girvan grain distillery in Lowlands. Ladyburn was operational for 9 years only (from 1966 to 1975).

LOCHSIDE, HIGHLANDS Did you know? - Lochside The Lochside distillery was established in 1957 only, when an 18th century brewery was converted into a distillery by Joseph W Hobbs who also owned some of Scotland’s flagship distilleries: Ben Nevis, Bruichladdich, Glenkinchie, Glenesk, Benromach and Glenury Royal.

The distillery was closed in 1992 and dismantled a few years later.

Lochside’s whiskies mostly went to the production of blended scotches, such as Sandy McNab, and hence, the only official bottling of Lochside was a 10 year-old released in 1991, the year before the distillery was closed, establishing the distillery’s character as sweet and floral.

PORT ELLEN, ISLAY Did you know? - About Port Ellen Established as a malt mill on Islay's south coast in 1825 and developed as a distillery from 1833, Port Ellen was first closed in 1929 before being reopened and expanded in 1967. In 1983, however, Port Ellen was closed again, but the whisky made in this 17 year window is considered by whisky experts as some of the finest examples of Islay malts ever produced, with a high level of peatiness and a phenomenal complexity.

Port Ellen is also one of the three main villages on Islay and one of the ferry terminals on the island.

Did you know? - Gordon & Macphail Gordon & MacPhail is an acclaimed independent bottler and distiller of Scotch Whisky, founded in 1895 and located in Elgin in the northeast of Scotland. It is a family business owned by the Urquhart Family, which has been bottling single malt whiskies for over 115 years and could very well be the oldest whisky blender & bottler in Scotland.

Whilst bottling under license for famous distilleries such as Macallan, Glenlivet, Glen Grant, Linkwood and Mortlach, they began to select and fill their own casks - almost always Spanish oak, ex-sherry casks - at these and other distilleries, and to mature the whiskies for much longer than was customary at the time. They very soon owned one of the largest collections of malts in the world, with most of them unavailable elsewhere!

34

Today, the whiskies are matured in Gordon & MacPhail's own warehouses in Elgin or at the distillery where they were produced.

With around 300 different whisky brands stored in its warehouses, it cares for some of Scotland's oldest and rarest casks.

Since 1993, Gordon & MacPhail own their own distillery Benromach Distillery, Speyside, which they reopened in 1998.

In November 2013, Gordon & MacPhail were presented a Queen’s Award by HRH The Princess Royal

作為一間著名的獨立裝瓶商和蘇格蘭威士忌的釀酒 廠，Gordon & MacPhail成立於1895年，是蘇格蘭 最古老的調和威士忌製造商和裝瓶商，它十分注重 單一麥芽蘇格蘭威士忌的傳統。 29

ROSEBANK, LOWLANDS Did you know? - Rosebank Established in 1840 on the banks of the Forth and Clyde canal between Edinburgh and Glasgow, Rosebank was one of the founding members of the Scottish Malt Distillers Ltd (later to be taken over by Distillers Company Limited in 1929). It took its name from the roses which grew along the side of the canal.

Silent first in 1862-64, then in 1917-1919, the distillery produced steadily until it was dismantled in 1993 for commercial reasons. When Diageo sold the site, the deeds stated that it could not be used for distilling until 2017. Rosebank is generally acknowledged as the best Lowlands malt known for low productions and its traditional triple-distilled smooth floral style.

Recent independent bottlings of aged Rosebank malts have been blowing the myth within connoisseurs that Rosebank had to be consumed young and are seeing their value quickly rising as the supply of maturing casks runs out.

"Still regarded by many as the classic representative of the species...widely regarded as the most distinguished Lowlands malt" ~ Charles MacLean, 'The Pocket Whisky Book' "Rosebank has to be one of the top ten distilleries in the world" ~ Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2007

The only sign of the distillery that remains today is its pagoda.

The entire production was used for blended scotch and hence, there were no official bottlings during the distillery’s lifetime. Nonetheless, it has now become one of the most lamented closed distilleries, with the few recent bottlings seized upon by whisky aficionados and collectors alike.

水晶和陶瓷的酒瓶是珍貴的 收藏品，它們表現出工藝的極 致，往往不遜於它們所盛載的 佳釀。

Did you know? – Collectable Crystal & Ceramic Decanters Recent trends seem to contradict French poet and novelist Alfred de Musset who said “Qu'importe le flacon, pourvu qu'on ait l'ivresse.” (which translates by “The bottle is not important as long as it gets you drunk.”). Indeed, the last few years have seen multiple releases of special decanters in the spirit industries, notably for whiskies & cognacs.

Strangely enough, whiskies do not have sediment and hence, there’s no real purpose in decanting a whisky, other than a purely aesthetic one. In other words, a decanter is simply a far more attractive and far more presentable vessel than the original whiskey bottle. Crystal tends to be clearer than glass, allowing a person to see the whiskey's tone and color more clearly; however, this has not lowered the connoisseurs’ taste for ceramic decanters too.

For the last fifty years, crystal and ceramic decanters have become the preferred vessels for the most special spirits editions, with famous spirits houses aiming at the gift, the commemorative and the collectable markets by collaborating with the most recognized decanter producers: e.g. The Famous Groose, Bell’s, Jim Beam and Royal Salute with Wade (ceramics), LOUIS XIII de Remy Martin, Camus and Johnnie Walker with Baccarat (crystal), or Hardy Cognacs and Macallan with Lalique (crystal).

The bottle becomes precious by itself. These decanters indeed demonstrate the utmost craftsmanship - often as much as the liquid they contain. They too depict a story.

Finally, they express rarity and are most of the time numbered.

A rare whisky in a precious decanter – two good reasons to cherish your malt as a keepsake!

Did you know? - Ardbeg The Ardbeg distillery was officially established in 1815 although unofficially production started in 1794.

It is located on the south coast of the isle of Islay, Scotland.

Ardbeg used to produce a very smoky malt until 1981 when the distillery was mothballed. It resumed production in 1989 but has lost his extremely smoky characteristics as it now uses malt produced by the Port Ellen maltings, and not its own malting floors anymore. Since its acquisition by Glenmorangie in 1997, Ardbeg revived its tradition of very peaty single malts.

Arbeg is reportedly entirely sold as single malt which is unusual in the world of whisky, where most of distilleries see part of their production used in blends.

Ardbeg is now focused on no age statement bottling, which makes the old Ardbegs new collectors’ pieces.

BOWMORE, ISLAY Did you know? - Bowmore The Bowmore distillery was reportedly founded in 1779, which would make Bowmore one of the oldest working distilleries in Scotland.

Since 1994, Bowmore is owned by the Japanese group Suntory.

While modern day Bowmore whiskies tend to be predominantly smoky, some Bowmores released in the 1970’s and before have a much lighter, more 'floral' style.

Since the 2000’s, Bowmore is one of the few distilleries which regularly offer 'finished' expressions of their whisky, such as new bordeaux and port finishes.

BRUICHLADDICH, ISLAY Did you know? - Bruichladdich The Bruichladdich distillery was founded by the Harvey family in 1881 in Port Charlotte, Islay, directly opposite Bowmore, during the 'whisky boom' of the late 19th century. The Harvey family retained ownership until 1929 when the distillery was mothballed. It changed ownership a few times before finally being reopened and expanded in the late 1960’s.

The distillery shut again in 1995 and was sold in 2000 to a consortium of twenty five different shareholders that resumed operations in 2001 under the name 'Bruichladdich Distillery Co. Ltd.', including the charismatic Jim McEwan (formerly of Bowmore). The new owners also acquired a lot of maturing stocks that they carefully selected and released with huge success.

While the distillery now promotes its heavily peated malts (their ‘Octomore’ is recognized by many as the most peated single malt), Bruichladdich traditionally released extremely lightly peated floral malts.

DALMORE, HIGHLANDS Did you know? – Dalmore The Dalmore distillery was founded in 1839. Dalmore was the first malt whisky ever to be exported worldwide as early as in 1870.

The distillery was closed in 1917 as it was requisitioned by the Navy for the production of deep sea mine. Strongly damaged by both a fire and an explosion it was left in ruins in 1920, it resumed production in 1922.

The standard Dalmore 12 year old is recognized by all as an all-time favorite for a younger whisky expression; while older expressions are extremely sought after by whisky aficionados and regularly break new records in auction.

Why the stag? The story dates back to 1263, the year an ancestor of the Clan Mackenzie, founders of the Dalmore distillery, saved King Alexander III from the fury of a charging stag. In the recognition of this noble act the grateful King granted the Clan Mackenzie the right to use a 12 point stag, representing a "Royal", in their coat of arms. This zz icon has since adorned each bottle of The Dalmore, symbolizing The Dalmore distillery´s royal legacy.

GLEN AVON, SPEYSIDE About Glen Avon, the mystery Speyside single malt by Gordon & Macphail…

While information on distilleries and single malts can nowadays be easily found on the internet, Glen Avon remains a mystery… Indeed, there is no distillery called Glen Avon and it is unclear from what distillery the Glen Avon single malt comes from.

Bottled by the whisky specialists and leading bottlers Gordon and Macphail, the source of this excellent single malt is a closely guarded secret. It is said that the practical reason behind this mystery is that the malt comes from a distillery which did not give the permission to the bottlers to use their name. The rumor within whisky aficionados has it that it might be Glenfarclas… or Macallan… who knows? Whatever it is, Glen Avon 1953 and 1955 are highly sought after by connoisseurs!

其中一個Dalmore系列中最珍貴的出產。 30年(包括7年陳年於sherry butt) ，是經典的代表作。 由 威士忌專家和著名的裝瓶商Gordon和Macphail裝瓶，其來源至今仍然是個迷，業內人士傳言是Glen Avon、Glenfarclas和Macallan。無論真相如何，Glen Avon都是深受威士忌鑑賞家的欣賞，較老年份如 1953年和1955年更具收藏價值。

Did you know? - GlenDronach GlenDronach was founded in 1826. The legend has it that its founder, James Allardice, accidentally built the brand by offering some of his whisky to some prostitutes in Edinburgh in a moment of despair.

Saddened by an unsuccessful sales trip to Edinburgh to promote its whisky, Allardice invited two prostitutes to taste its unsold whisky.

The latter loved the elixir so much they shared it with others. Soon enough the word spread within the city and as bar patrons kept on requesting GlenDronach, bars quickly had to stock the new flavor of the week!

GlenDronach’s history is one of too many disasters (the distillery was totally destroyed by fire ten years after its inception) and too many ownerships. The distillery was closed in 1996-2002, then again in 2005. While it re-opened in 2008 under a new ownership with the commitment of ensuring that GlenDronach’s legacy lives on, connoisseurs today lament the unique direct coal firing, finely peated and richly sherried style that GlenDronach was famous for.

Did you know? - Glenfarclas The Glenfarclas distillery was founded in 1836. Funnily enough, it was originally known as Glenlivet, a name it eventually had to give up to the famous Glenlivet distillery we all know. Glenfarclas translates as valley of the green grass.

The Glenfarclas distillery is one of the last independent family owned distilleries in Speyside. It is owned by the Grant family which founded Glen Grant.

The distillery has always been avant-garde and unconventional. Under partial ownership by the flamboyant Pattison brothers (1895-1898), it used large-scale innovative advertising in a time when mass media like radio or television were not invented yet. It opened a visitor center as early as in 1973. It was also one of the first distilleries to market a cask strength version of its malt (‘the Glenfarclas 105’). Finally, Glenfarclas is the last distillery in Scotland which still uses direct heating of all its stills instead of indirect heating.

First exclusively used for blends, its first single malt was released in 1963, which is considered by many as the first official single malt from Scotland. Glenfiddich literally created the single malt industry, pioneering both production and marketing (with notably its famous triangular bottle). Still today, Glenfiddich is distilled, matured and even bottled at its own distillery. It is Scotland's #1 malt whisky producer.

Glenfiddich is independent and family owned, still the property of its founders William Grant & Sons.

GLENGLASSAUGH, HIGHLANDS About Glenglassaugh, the reborn distillery The Glenglassaugh distillery sits on a hillside in the Glassaugh Glen in close proximity to the sea, in the Highlands, just beyond the boundaries of the Speyside region. The Glenglassaugh Distillery was founded in 1875.

Between 1908 and 1960 the Glenglassaugh whisky distillery was only in operation very briefly, for it closed and reopened frequently.

After more than 20 years of significant operations, the stills of the Glenglassaugh distillery fell silent again in November of 1986.

The Glenglassaugh distillery restarted production in November 2008 after being acquired by an independent investment group and following a complete refurbishment by the new owners.

GLENGOYNE, HIGHLANDS Did you know? - Glengoyne Glengoyne was founded in 1833. Its very singular location in the Highlands, but a few meters upon the border of the Lowlands makes it the only Highland single malt whisky matured in the Lowlands.

Indeed, while Glengoyne’s stills are in the Highlands (making it a Highland whisky), the maturing casks rest across the road in the Lowlands.

As a matter of fact, Glengoyne is stylistically closer to a Lowland single malt than a Highland single malt. Indeed, on the contrary to most whisky distilleries, Glengoyne does not use peat smoke to dry their barley, but warm air, giving to the malt "the authentic taste of malt whisky untainted by peat smoke".

In 1984 Glengoyne became suppliers of whiskies to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's household. The Royal Warrant has since been featured on all Glengoyne products.

Glengoyne is regularly referred to as the "most beautiful distillery in Scotland".

Did you know? – Glen Grant The Glen Grant distillery was built in the Speyside in 1840 by the Grant Brothers and brought to fame and success by their successor James ‘The Major’ Grant, a highly ambitious and innovative character and remarkably the first man in the Highlands to own a car. Under his direction, Glen Grant quickly became one of the leading distilleries in Scotland. Notably, it was the first distillery to have electric light.

Half of Glen Grant’s massive Scotch whisky production is used for the production of blended scotch, notably Chivas which used to own the distillery (1978-2006). Today Glen Grant is one of the top five bestselling Scotch single malt distilleries in the world. It is also one of a handful of Speyside distilleries that can handle very extended cask maturation. It is owned by Campari.

Glen Grant is the only remaining distillery which bears the name of its founders.

GLENMORANGIE, HIGHLANDS

86

87

Did you know? – Glenmorangie The Glenmorangie distillery was established in 1843, although production actually started in 1849.

Glenmorangie usually offers very subtle expressions of malts.

All of Glenmorangie's single malt is aged in first or second fill casks.

Glenmorangie is recognized as a pioneer of the technique of double maturation / finished whiskies, which they popularize as early as in the 1990’s with releases such as “madeira finish”, “port finish”, “Sauternes Cask”, etc. with each of their experiments becoming highly sought after collectors’ pieces (such as the 1978 Tain L'Hermitage bottling, the 1975 vintage Cotes de Nuits finish or the 1981 vintage finished in Sauternes casks from Chateau d'Yquem).

Glenmorangie is one of the smallest and most northerly distilleries in Scotland. As a result the annual production is very limited and the reserves of old whisky are even scarcer. Today, due to rising demand for what is the biggest-selling malt whisky in Scotland, 100% of production is reserved for bottling as single malt.

位處蘇格蘭最北，是該地規模最細的釀酒廠。因 此，其威士忌的產量和貯藏量都是有限的。

Glentauchers is a very boutique brand, unknown of most people as it’s mostly used as a component of whisky blends, notably Ballantine’s, Teacher’s and Chivas. Chivas Brothers / Pernod Ricard now owns the distillery.

There have been very few official bottlings of Glentauchers as a single malt. Old expressions of Glentauchers are rare and have been the sole property of few acclaimed independent bottlers such as Gordon & Macphail and Signatory and therefore, they are highly sought after.

All islands, except Islay, are considered to be part of the Highlands.

In 1984, Highland Park was the only whisky ever to have scored a rating of 100% by the regular tasting team of The Scotsman, a national newspaper of Scotland. Whisky reviewer and expert Michael Jackson has called it "The greatest all-rounder in the world of malt whisky."

Did you know? - Jura The present Jura distillery was built between 1960-63 on the grounds of a previous distillery (also called Jura) that had been founded in 1810 but dismantled and silent since 1901.

The new distillery is producing malt more akin to the Highlands style rather than the heavily-peated whisky of near-neighbours Islay, a strategy that has continued to bear fruit for Jura; although more experimental peated bottlings from the late 1990s are now finding their way to market, to some acclaim.

Owned by Whyte & Mackay since the mid 1990’s, the distillery now belongs to the Indian tycoon Vijay Mallya's United Breweries group, which bought Whyte & Mackay in 2007. With Diageo taking control of UB Group in 2013, there are rumors it could sell the Jura distillery.

It’s only in 1980 that the 'Glenlivet' suffix was removed. Even though The Macallan is located in the middle of the Speyside region, it's still labeled as a Highland malt.

The Macallan used to mature all its single malt production in sherry casks; the remaining being sold to blenders, among which Famous Grouse, J&B, Chivas Regal, or Ballantine's. They used to proudly boast on their labels: “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.'” In 2004, however, The Macallan introduced a range of Fine Oak casks, with the whisky mellowed in bourbon oak casks.

Despite one of the biggest productions in Scotland, The Macallan malts are highly sought after and aged Macallan regularly rank at the top of the most expensive whiskies sold in auctions across the world. Old vintages are highly prized and very valuable while casks have become a rare commodity!

Did you know? – Jacobite drinking and toasting glasses

最具歷史，是收藏家的最愛。

While there still exists quite a number of them and their engraving’s quality is often strangely unremarkable, Jacobite glasses have been providing much fascination within collectors due to the pivotal importance of the Jacobite movement in both religious and politics of Great Britain and Ireland (although much mystery still remains on who the Jacobites really were) and the controversy - even today - surrounding most of their engraved motifs, such as the rose, the buds, the portraits and some of the Latin mottoes.

THE MOON COLLECTION 30TH ANNIVERSARY Did you know? – Moon Import bottlings It’s very little known that Italy has very early in history developed a strong taste in whiskies and single malts, actually much before the rest of the world even discovered single malts…

One of the legendary independent bottlers from Italy, Moon Import is famous for having launched remarkable series of bottlings, often including malts from little-known distilleries. Ranges from the past include 'Seven Seas', 'Cars', 'Ships', 'Costumes', 'Animals' etc.

The series, due to their beautiful labels – true works of art indeed - and the incredible quality and rarity of bottlings, have now become extremely collectable.

Very active in the 1990’s, Moon Import have released very few new series since 2000. In 2010, however, they released a 30th Anniversary release with some of their most sought-after labels.

The official bottling used to be a 12 year-old until recently with the new standard line being a 10yo. Independent bottlings and aged whiskies are extremely rare.

軒尼詩系列的特別版，最終停產。它背後藏有一個 故事: 傳統上，干邑是伴水飲用，後由於蘇格蘭混 合威士忌在法國逐漸普及，干邑的地位被受威脅。因 此，Henco再度推銷干邑伴水飲用。市場上數量極少，專 家極力推薦。

130 Hennessy, Henco Very special product by Hennessy, eventually discontinued, with yet a great story behind it…

Henco was released in the 1950-60's to be enjoyed with water in order to compete with scotch whisky.

Traditionally, cognac used to be often enjoyed with water (the so-called ‘Fine a l’Eau’). As blended scotch grew in popularity in France, cognac got evicted by scotch whiskies as it was more and more considered as a winter drink. Henco was released to promote cognac with water again.

Very few bottles are still available in the market.

Did you know? – Marnier-Lapostolle cognacs All started with a fruit distillery founded in France in 1827 near Paris

by Mr. Jean-Baptiste Lapostolle. 40 years later, the family, through marriage, would become Marnier-Lapostolle, a name which would eventually become famous with Louis-Alexandre Marnier Lapostolle creating the famous orange liquor Grand Marnier, which he named following the advice of famous hotelier Cesar Ritz, who reportedly told him his ‘grand’ liqueur deserved a ‘grand’ name.

In 1921, Louis-Alexandre purchased the Château de Bourg-Charente in the region of Cognac in which the House produces cognacs as well – the Marnier-Lapostolle cognacs (now simply called Marnier cognacs), using grapes from throughout the cognac region.

Did you know? – Otard Cognacs & the Chateau de Cognac The Otard cognac house was established in 1795 by Jean-Baptiste Antoine Otard under the name Otard, Dupuy & Co. It is headquartered in the medieval Chateau de Cognac (also called ‘Château des Valois’), located in the heart of the city of Cognac.

The Chateau de Cognac dates back to the 10th century. The history of the chateau is a story of too many owners, however, in the 17th century, the owner was King Charles X of France who rebuilt the chateau entirely.

In the eve of the 19th century, the Chateau’s history was ready to be destroyed when Messieurs Otard & Dupuy purchased this historical landmark to save it from demolition. It’s in the damp and dark cellars under the chateau that the Otard house has been maturing and storing its cognacs since then.
