We are pleased to present an exceptional lot, offered in partnership with Diageo: a 1979 Port Ellen Cask of Distinction. At the time of the sale, the cask is 48 years old and contains the equivalent of 73 bottles at 51.4% ABV. Its new owner will have the option to continue its maturation until the whisky reaches its 50th anniversary, on 16 February 2029. Storage and bottling are included in this unique offering, and the Port Ellen will be bottled in its official presentation. Further details can be found on the lot page.
The sale extends well beyond this remarkable cask, with a new season catalogue featuring more than 1400 rare bottles. In addition, in partnership with Whisky Live Paris 2026, we will launch the fifth edition of our charity auction in support of the GoodPlanet Foundation. This dedicated sale will go live on 26 September, coinciding with the opening of Whisky Live Paris, and will close on 2 October.
