Founded in 1810, it has had various names, including Craighouse, Small Isles, and Caol nan Eilean, before finally becoming Jura. The distillery's early success ended in 1901 due to a whiskey crisis, leading to its closure. Its remote location and lack of direct access to the mainland made operations costly, causing it to remain shut for over 60 years. In 1963, Jura was revitalized by Robin Fletcher and Tony Riley-Smith, who worked with blender Charles Mackinlay and designer William Delme-Evans to boost island distilling and support the local economy. Jura began selling its single malt whiskey in 1974 and steadily expanded its offerings. In 2002, it launched Superstition whiskey, which added a slightly smoky flavor, followed by the fully peated Prophecy edition in 2009. A complete rebranding in 2018 introduced a new range of whiskeys with subtle smokiness, including Jura Journey and aged versions (10, 12, and 18 years), along with special editions like Jura Seven Wood. | Bottle description | Isle of Jura 16 Years is a single malt whisky from the Isle of Jura distillery, part of their Vintage Collection.

Rosebank was notable for its use of a three-pot still, similar to Auchentoshan, which contributed to the distillery's fine and complex character. The distillery closed in 1993, primarily due to the challenging economic conditions in the whisky industry and difficulties with modernization. In 2017, Ian Macleod Distillers announced plans to reopen Rosebank, focusing on preserving the original three-pot distillation and authentic production processes that defined the distillery. After extensive reconstruction, Rosebank reopened in 2023, marking the return of one of the most iconic Lowland whiskies to the market.

GLENMORANGIE THE QUINTA RUBAN | ABV: 46% | Region: Highland | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Distillery description | Glenmorangie is a renowned Scottish distillery located in the Highlands, near the Dornoch Firth. Its name is derived from a Gaelic expression meaning "valley of calm." Originally established as a brewery for the town of Tain, it was converted into a distillery by William Matheson in 1843. Records indicate that by the late 19th century, Glenmorangie whisky was already being served in luxury hotels, such as The Savoy, underscoring its quality and reputation at that time. After a brief hiatus, Glenmorangie returned to the market as a single malt whisky in 1959 and quickly ascended to become the best-selling whisky in Scotland. The distillery is particularly famous for its tall 'giraffe' stills, which produce a fine, fruity, and sweet spirit. Dr. Bill Lumsden, known for his innovative approaches, has also spearheaded the creation of experimental limited editions that utilize different varieties of barley and various types of whisky barrels. Since 2004, Glenmorangie has been owned by the French luxury goods company Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH). | Bottle description | Glenmorangie The Quinta Ruban is a celebrated single malt whisky known for its rich, complex character.

GLENDRONACH REVIVAL 15 YEARS OLD | Stated age: 15 years old | ABV: 46% | Region: Highland | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Distillery description | Glendronach is a Scottish distillery located in the Highlands, specifically in the Aberdeenshire region near the village of Forgue. Founded in 1826 by James Allardice, its name comes from the Gaelic expression "Glen Dronach," meaning "valley of the River Dronach," which flows near the distillery and supplies it with the water needed for distillation. Glendronach whisky was primarily used in blended Teacher's whisky, but in 1991 the distillery innovatively introduced two 12-year-old whiskies - one aged in ex-bourbon casks and the other in ex-sherry casks. Although this innovation attracted attention, the brand never gained significant support, and the distillery was closed between 1996 and 2002. In 2008, the distillery was purchased from Pernod Ricard by the BenRiach Distillery Company, with whisky industry legend Billy Walker playing a key role in the revival of the Glendronach brand. Among the most popular bottlings are the 12-year-old, 15-year-old Revival, 18-year-old Allardice, and 21-year-old Parliament, which is aged exclusively in ex-sherry casks. | Bottle description | Glendronach Aged 15 Years is a single malt whisky bottled directly by the distillery as part of the Revival series. This series was intended to represent a return to the traditional style that characterized Glendronach's historic performances. The whisky was matured only in Oloroso sherry casks for at least 15 years.Nose: Rich, with notes of dried fruit, spices, and dark chocolate.Taste: Smooth and complex, with distinct notes of sherry, ripe fruit, and a hint of spice.Finish: Long and warm, with lingering notes of sweetness and wood.This whisky is valued not only for its depth and richness of flavor but also for its symbolism in the context of the distillery's history.Size: 700 ml | Duty stamp: CZ | Packaging: paper tube | Bottle code: L25.08.09 3 15:58BB

MACALLAN FINE OAK 25 YEARS OLD | Stated age: 25 years old | ABV: 43% | Region: Highland | Country: Scotland | Type: Single malt Scotch whisky | Distillery description | The Macallan is a prestigious Scottish whisky distillery located in Speyside and is regarded as one of the world's most respected single malt whisky brands. Founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, it is now owned by the Edrington Group. While The Macallan was initially a key ingredient in blended whiskies, it wasn't until the 1980s, amid declining demand for blends, that it shifted focus to single malts. A marketing team led by Allan Shiach, Frank Newlands, Hugh Mitcalfe, and Willie Phillips positioned The Macallan as a premium whisky, earning it the nickname "Cognac whisky." The brand gained wider appeal through imaginative and provocative ad campaigns. A major milestone was the launch of the "Fine & Rare" series and a collaboration with Lalique, which created special decanters for rare, aged editions like the 50- and 60-year-old whiskies. This helped The Macallan carve out a place in the luxury whisky market. Today, it is one of the most sought-after whiskies in the world, cherished by connoisseurs, collectors, and investors alike. | Bottle description | The Macallan Fine Oak 25 Years Old is a prestigious single malt whisky aged in a combination of three cask types-European and American sherry casks and American oak bourbon casks.

JACK DANIEL'S 1954 GOLD MEDAL SERIES | ABV: 43% | Region: Tennessee | Country: USA | Type: Tennessee whiskey | Distillery description | Jack Daniel's is one of the most renowned whiskey brands globally and is synonymous with Tennessee whiskey. The distillery's history dates back to the mid-1800s when founder Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel took over the distillery at the age of 13 from Reverend Dan Call, with whom he initially learned the craft. Jack Daniel's Distillery was officially established in 1866 in Lynchburg, Tennessee, making it the first registered distillery in the United States. What sets Jack Daniel's whiskey apart from bourbon is the special filtering process known as the Lincoln County Process, which involves filtering the spirit through a thick layer of maple wood charcoal. This unique step imparts a characteristic smoothness and classifies the whiskey as Tennessee whiskey. Afterward, the whiskey matures in handcrafted oak barrels, where it develops a rich flavor profile with notes of caramel, vanilla, and wood. Today, Jack Daniel's Distillery is part of the Brown-Forman Corporation, one of the world's largest beverage companies. Paradoxically, it continues to be produced in Lynchburg, a so-called dry city where the sale of alcohol is officially prohibited. The Jack Daniel's brand has achieved cult status in popular culture, especially due to its close ties to musical genres such as rock and country. Today, it ranks among the best-selling whiskeys in the world. | Bottle description | Jack Daniel's 1954 Gold Medal Series is a special collector's edition released by the Jack Daniel's distillery to celebrate the gold medals the brand has won at international competitions. This particular edition commemorates the success of Jack Daniel's at the World Exhibition in Brussels in 1954, where the whiskey received a prestigious gold medal for its exceptional quality. Nose: Smooth, sweet with pleasant notes of fruit and a light touch of wood. Taste: Rich, balanced with slightly spicy notes and a touch of caramel. Finish: Smooth and rich, with lingering sweet and woody notes. The auctioned bottle is number 29356.Size: 1000 ml | Duty stamp: none | Packaging: without packaging | Bottle code: 111423610B 4315700

It depicts various national flags: on the left, the Danish, Spanish, and pre-Revolutionary French; on the right, the Swedish, British, and Dutch.Despite being inscribed with the name 'Sigismund Bacstrom', this painting is characteristic of the work of Cantonese 'export artists'. Bacstrom, a German-born surgeon, indeed visited Canton, present day Guangzhou. He served in the Dutch navy from 1763 to 1770 before moving to England. From 1772 to 1775, he worked for Sir Joseph Banks and later for Captain William Kent until 1779. During the 1780s, he embarked on six voyages to Greenland and the West Indies, which proved financially unfruitful. His journeys from 1791 to 1795 are better documented, as he produced several precise drawings of Hawaii, Tierra del Fuego, and the northwest coast of North America. In November 1793, he was aboard the French ship Amelia when it was captured by the British off Macau. He spent some time in Canton, producing eleven drawings of the China coast, two dated 'Dec. 1793' and '1794'. Bacstrom returned to England on July 23, 1795. In his later years, he became known as a Rosicrucian and translator of alchemical texts. For a detailed account of his adventures and a list of his drawings, see Douglas Cole, 'Sigismund Bacstrom's Northwest Coast Drawings and an Account of his Curious Career', BC Studies, 46, Summer 1980, pp.61-86.The painting's inscription of the dates 1794 and 1796 aligns with some of Bacstrom's works, which are sometimes marked 'del. 1793 fect. 1796', indicating that the final drawing was completed post-return, based on earlier on-site sketches. However, Bacstrom was not the creator of this particular picture, though he might have attempted to claim it. The painting's style is typical of early Cantonese 'export' artists. It features the white Bourbon flag, which was replaced in France on May 24, 1794. Although trade between China and the United States began in 1784, the American flag does not appear here; it would only be seen at the Canton waterfront in 1799 with the arrival of American Consul Samuel Snow. For further discussion on paintings of the 'Factories' in the 1790s, see P.A.Van Dyke and M.Kar-Wing Mok, Images of the Canton Factories 1760-1822: Reading History in Art, Hong Kong, 2015, pp.57-65.Notably, there exists a manuscript catalogue from June 1800, penned by Bacstrom, listing 'some accurate and characteristic Original Drawings and Sketches made after nature during a late Voyage round the World in 1791, 92, 93, 94 and 95.' This catalogue, once part of the Paul Mellon Collection and now held at Yale's Beinecke Library, includes various sketches and finished drawings, such as three depicting junks and nine pairs of Chinese figures. The first entry is described as:'View of that part of the Suburbs of Canton in China which faces the River, with the Factories of the different European nations. A highly finished Drawing of 30 Inches by 18, in a gilt Frame and plate Glass, valued by an eminent Artist at 50 Guin.s....£52.10'The close correspondence between this description and the present painting strongly suggests that this is indeed the piece owned and exhibited by Bacstrom in 1800. The entry mentioned above is one of nine in the list that have been subsequently crossed out in pencil, likely indicating that these items were sold when the collection was first offered for sale.See a related painting of the Hongs at Canton, Chinese school, circa 1780, which was sold at Christie's London, 14 December 2018, lot 29.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

ATTRIBUTED TO PIERRE-PAUL PRUD'HON (FRENCH 1758-1823) APOLLO AND THE MUSES ON MOUNT PARNASSUS Oil on canvas 54.5 x 64cm (21¼ x 25 in.)SALEROOM NOTICE: Please note the cataloguing has changed Provenance: Baron d'Olonne, Paris; Matthiesen, Ltd., London, by 1956 Paul Drey Gallery, New York Sale, Sotheby's, New York, 22 May 1986, lot 2 Literature: Advertisement supplement, The Burlington Magazine, vol. 98, no. 639, June 1956, reproduced plate VI Prud'hon's talent manifested itself early. As a young boy he was taken under the wing of Devosge, director of the drawing school in Dijon, who recommended him to his first major patron, the baron de Joursanvault. As early as 1780 we can see the young artist applying his delight in allegory and the classical world in his "Apotheosis of Baron Joursanvault" (Dijon, musee des beaux-arts). Joursanvault sponsored Prud'hon's move to Paris and he spent 3 years (1780-83) visiting galleries and churches and enrolling in the Academie Royale although we know from his letters that he much preferred to work alone at home. From 1783-4 he returned to Dijon in order to compete for the Prix de Rome, which he duly won. Rome was to prove pivotal to his development and subsequent success. Between 1784 and 1788 he was able to immerse himself in the art of the Eternal city and indeed to make important contacts, most notably with Canova. In Rome he was to prove assiduous in his study of the Renaissance masters and his overriding admiration of Leonardo is clearly expressed in his correspondence, although his contemporaries were to dub him France's Correggio. This period was certainly to influence the way he viewed allegory and mythology and its lasting effect can be seen throughout his work in the years to come. After his return from Rome his reputation gradually increased despite the political upheavals that were erupting in France. He was much admired as a portraitist, gaining patrons and consequently expanding his oeuvre. Always aspiring to be a history painter, he provided designs for what has been termed the golden age of book illustration, and although relatively unknown he was sought out by the publisher Pierre Didot expressly for this purpose. Finally, during the Empire of Napoleon, Prudh'on would find the greatest favour of all from the Imperial court itself. This was the period of his grand portraits such as "Empress Josephine at Malmaison" and "Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigourd" as well as large scale mythological paintings such as "Psyche carried off by the Zephyrs". He had previously shown a sure eye for decoration in a number of projects but he was now able to create independent works on a large scale. His position was sealed in 1810 when he was appointed drawing master to the new Empress, Marie Louise. The restoration of the Bourbon monarchy did not mark a fall from favour, and indeed Prud'hon was called upon to help create the official representation of the restored monarchy. He produced even more portraits, and at the very end of his life he was commissioned by the state to produce what has become one of his most famous works, "Christ on the Cross" for the cathedral at Strasbourg (Paris, Musee du Louvre).Apollo and the Muses on Mount Parnassus would certainly have appealed to Prud'hon as a subject. In essence the scene encompasses the ideals of classical learning through word and music and as such it became symbolic during the Renaissance of the re birth of knowledge. Prud'hon would have seen many Renaissance interpretations of this, from Raphael in Rome to Mantegna in Paris. The present sketch is remarkable in the vivacity of the figures, the bold under drawing being clear in many passages. Drawings of individual groups of figures for this composition exist in a private collection and were illustrated in Guiffrey's 1924 monograph. Indeed these drawings were then copied by Boilly (1) and were subsequently published as lithographs (2). In terms of Prud'hon's oeuvre, the present work is reminiscent of a number of allegorical and decorative schemes he produced in the period following his return from Rome. The decoration of the Hotel de Lannoy is the most famous of these schemes and was intended as a full cycle representing in essence the liberal arts through classical models. This work was followed by a period in which he expressed the aims and ambitions of the revolution in a series of allegories deeply rooted in the classical past. Dr Christoph Vogtherr, on examining the picture, has proposed that it could be a modello for a theatre curtain. Set designs were certainly produced by major artists and during the Napoleonic period such spectacles were as expected as the lavish court ceremonies that were staged throughout the reign. There is a 19th century copy of the work in the Musee des Beaux Arts in Dijon, at one time attributed to Prud'hon it was already viewed as a copy in the early years of the last century. 1) Julien-Leopold Boilly, Terpsichore and Erato, drawing, black and white pencil on paper, Paris, Louvre, inv. no.

Kingsley the Kaleidoscope Penguin A colourful and angular patterned penguin Artist: Amy Bourbon Design Inspiration:  Vibrant penguin design, Kingsley, was created whilst the artist was playing with forms, shapes and structures to see how she could enhance the curves of the penguin whilst disrupting the static nature of the sculpture. She aimed to develop a sense of movement around the form but wanted the forms to be angular rather than curvaceous. It almost looks like his swirly patterns have frozen in the cold weather! Kingsley’s unusual colours will definitely stand out on the trail. Sponsor: Worcestershire Apprenticeships

While it has endured some tough times, spending several years mothballed, the distillery has undergone a bit of a renaissance since being bought over by Glenmorangie and is now on a stable footing.While it still retains its signature sooty spirit, Ardbeg has also adopted its new parent company’s fondness for experimental cask finishes, arguably increasing its appeal.

Situated in Campbeltown (the former whisky capital of the world) the distillery produces three distinct styles of single malt: lightly peated Springbank, heavily peated Longrow, and triple distilled, unpeated Hazelburn. Despite being a relatively small distillery, Springbank has cultivated a global cult following, with older expressions such as their legendary Local Barley series commanding eye-watering sums at auction.

BOWMORE 1999 9 YEAR OLD FEIS ILE 2009 ISLAY SINGLE MALT Distilled: 14/06/1999Bottled: 2009Sherry / Bourbon / WineBottle Number: 889 / 90057.1% ABV / 70cl Sat on the picturesque shore of Loch Indaal, Bowmore is a distillery steeped in mythology and legend, ranging from tales of Sea Dragons and Devils in churches to, er, seagulls. Making use of Islay’s abundant peat, Bowmore whisky can be smoky and briny, but it distinguishes itself from its contemporaries with notes of tropical fruit and Parma Violets.Most famous among whisky auction regulars are its outstanding “Black” releases. These 1964 vintage sherry bombs were available for a snip when they made their debut in the early 1990s, but are now capable of commanding five figure sums at auction.
