WHISKY, COGNAC AND OTHER SPIRITS

Dear Connoisseurs,

What better season to sip a nice dram or cognac in Hong

Kong than the three months in front of us? And so it is

actually in many places in the North hemisphere at the

moment…

At SPINK, we have kicked off the season with a

number of partnerships to bring exciting wine &

spirits tastings to our customers. After Rémy Martin

and LOUIS XIII, we were happy to host a Glenfiddich

tasting in our premises as well as a beautiful wine

dinner with "the ultimate cult winery “ Harlan Estate.

There is much more to come this season, and we shall

keep you informed about our next events.

The truth, though, is that there is no season for a good

drink. What matters the most is to be with the right

people in the right atmosphere, whatever the time of the

year or the time of the day and provided you have the

right bottle too!

There are actually three kinds of bottles in the market:

the ones you open, the ones you collect and the ones you

invest in. This time again at SPINK, we have strived to

come up with a selection of fine and rare spirits which

should fulfill all three objectives!

We will start the auction with an exciting series of

Japanese whiskies, including some beautiful Hibiki

21 year old in finely decorated ceramic decanters, a

very rare Karuizawa 1972, 39 year old and, last but

not least, for all rock music buffs, one of the few 150

decanters of the fancy Rolling Stone 50th Anniversary

Limited Edition released by Suntory in 2012!

Scottish whiskies are well represented too. We always

like to introduce in each catalogue a particular producer

or bottler to you; this time we would like you to discover

the labels The First Editions by Andrew Laing.

Andrew is not new in the business though. Selecting

the best casks and bottling single cask single malts are

in his blood as he is a third generation whisky man

and part of the family behind the renown Hunter Laing

bottlings. His Glen Scotia, Linkwood, Teaninich and

Macallan bottlings are a must try this season!

Along with old collectable bottlings from the most

well-known distilleries of the four whisky regions

of Scotland, we have put the focus this time on The

Macallan through a broad selection of distillery bottled

and independent bottlings, from 1958 onwards, the

highlight being a decanter of The Macallan 55 Year

Old, Six Pillars Collection, a very rare limited edition

released in Japan in 2008 by Suntory (100 bottles only).

Finally, following our successful auction in Singapore

in September in partnership with LOUIS XIII de Remy

Martin, we have selected again for you a few collectable

decanters of cognacs, as well as some old valuable

bottlings of the most renown producers. The rumour has

it cognacs were of better quality “in good ol’ days”; it’s

the opportunity to prove this right (or wrong)!

We wish you a fantastic season, filled with many new

tasting opportunities & other moments of conviviality!

Spiritually Yours,

Your SPINK Fine Wines & Spirits Team

7The Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary Limited Edition, by Suntory

The WhiskyThis whisky is a blend of carefully selected malts distilled and casked in milestone years throughout the band’s 50 year history, including a Yamazaki malt from the year the band formed (1962) that has been long-aged in mizunara (Japanese oak) casks. Some Rolling Stones milestones and corresponding malts used:

1962: The Rolling Stones formed - Yamazaki malt 1971: Lips and tongue logo completed - Yamazaki malt 1972: Exile on Main St., the album including “Rocks Off,” used in Suntory TV commercials is released- Yamazaki malt1981: Signature song “Start Me Up” released - Yamazaki malt 1990: First performance in Japan’s Tokyo Dome - Hakushu malt, Chita grain

Tasting NotesIts weighty, complex aroma calls to mind both dried and ripened fruits, and even cacao and espresso, and its rich heaviness and slight bitterness expand in the mouth with a velvety smoothness. The aftertaste is a pleasant and expansive woodiness akin to the fragrance of the finest aloes wood, and a soft smokiness.

The BottleThis commemorative whisky is bottled in a crystal bottle designed around the iconic lips and tongue logo. The bottle features the logo cut in relief on the front of the bottle, and a diamond-shaped decorative stopper. The bottle comes in a stylish box modeled after a black sofa.

Bottled in 2012. Only 150 bottles ever released world-wide. Original release price $6,500 USD.Comes in presentation box. 50%, 70cl.

The First Editions is the flagship range from Edition Spirits based in Glasgow. The proprietor, Andrew Laing, is a third generation whisky man and part of the family behind Hunter Laing Ltd. Just like his father Stewart Laing, Andrew has grown up and spent his whole life in the industry.

The First Editions range is best characterized by elegant, complex malts from the Speyside region. “We are particularly fond of distilleries such as Cragganmore as well as the lesser-known Linkwood, Longmorn, Mortlach and Miltonduff; names which command huge respect within the whisky industry. We tend to bottle no more than 3 or 4 casks every month, and have around 15 separate First Editions bottlings in the constantly-changing range at any time.”

Glen Scotia, Campbeltown –one of only three distilleries in Campbeltown. Glen Scotia has had an intermittent production history and generally is an under-utilized distillery. Built in 1832 by the Galbraith family, it passed into West Highland Malt Distillers in 1924. Unfortunately that company went bankrupt due to the implementation of the Prohibition Law in USA. Production resumed in 1933 after which it passed hands again a couple more times until its present owners Glen Catrine Bonded Warehouse Ltd took it over in 1994. Production has been stop/go with only approximately 130,000 litres produced per year, 20% of its capacity, making it one of the smallest outputs in Scotland.

Tasting Notes*: Nose - Fragrant, fruity and floral. There is some honey and butterscotch, citrus notes of lemon peel and some vanilla syrup. Taste - Quite syrupy, with toffee sweetness, creamy with oak. Finish - Medium long, sweet and spicy at the same time. Vanilla and spicy notes of ground ginger at the end.

Did you know? The Macallan Replica Edition 1861 – a rare discontinued bottling, not available anymore.The Macallan Replica Edition 1861 is the second of Macallan's famous 'Replica' series.

In 1998 The Macallan acquired a very rare bottle of 1861 from the private collection of John McWilliam, a shopkeeper established in Speyside during the middle of the 19th Century who used to offer a list of fine wines and spirits which he bought by the cask and bottled himself. The Macallan distillery located close by on the opposite bank of the river Spey was John McWilliam’s favourite.

The Macallan presented Bob Dalgarno, Macallan Chief Whisky Maker, with the formidable challenge of replicating it.

"I drew a tiny sample from the bottle with a hypodermic syringe inserted through the long driven cork. It was surprisingly fresh and vibrant, clearly The Macallan, but full of youthful vitality. Of course, we do not know the age at which it had been bottled, but judging from its golden colour and relative robustness in character, we suspect the whisky was matured in oak sherry casks from Spain. Together with my team of expert nosers, I began to comb through our warehouses of maturing casks searching for whisky which matched the profile. The problem was that every time we went back to the original it seemed to be revealing new layers of complexity.”

In the end Bod Dalgarno and his team vatted together twenty-eight casks, at different ages, to achieve a balanced profile which reflects the true character, aroma and flavour of this 1861 whisky.As well as replicating the whisky, Macallan were determined to recreate the 1861 bottle and label. The original bottle had been hand blown and closed with a driven cork and lead capsule - all characteristic features of its age and provenance. Master glassmakers, Stölzle Flaconnage of Nottingly, West Yorkshire, fabricated a new mould and carefully added colour to the molten glass until it matched the original. Even the flaws in the 1860s bottle were replicated.

Tasting Notes:"The nose displays citrus, dried fruits with spice and is lightly floral with hints of toffee, wood smoke, apple, light oil and malt. The palate reveals spice, light lemon-citrus, resin and lightly smoked oak flavours with hints of toffee re-emerging. Lingering slightly sweet aftertaste of spice, subtle smoked wood and malt.” Bob Dalgarno, Macallan Chief Whisky Maker.

"The palate is slippery-smooth. Very sweet. Perfumy. Anis. Restrained fruitiness. Candied orange peel. Delicious sherry character. Great depth of flavour. Quite an achievement. Like the previous ‘replica’ edition, this is more delicate than the robustly sherried Macallans of today." Michael Jackson, Whisky Writer.

Did you know? Berry Brothers & Rudd Whisky Independent BottlingsBerry Brothers & Rudd have a long and proud history in the wine world, but they've also been dabbling in whisky for many years. Their whisky bottlings are well recognized by whisky experts, as proven by the fact that their selections call for some of the higher prices in the market amongst independent bottlers, in fact priced very close to distillery bottled whiskies. For these reasons, they are the favourite, not only of whisky aficionados and collectors but also of investors.

Berry Bros. & Rudd won the coveted Independent Bottler of the Year Award for two successive years in 2010 & 2011 at the prestigious Icons of Whisky awards.

Did you know? CadenheadEstablished as early as 1842, Cadenhead is the oldest independent bottler of spirits. It rapidly became well recognized for its bottlings of single malt Scotch whisky and Demerara Rum, however, it really caught the spotlight in 1972 when it sold its entire stock in a 2-day auction in London, by far the largest sale of wines and spirits ever held in Great Britain at that time.

The name of Cadenhead is now a household name in the whisky world. It is now owned by J & A Mitchell & Co Ltd., proprietors of the Springbank Distillery.

Blended Whiskies & Grain WhiskiesWhile single malt whiskies (i.e. made from malted barley only and coming from a single distillery) have been the center of attention for the last few years, whisky aficionados are rediscovering – notably with the recent rise in popularity of Japanese whiskies – the quality, smoothness and flavor profile of blended whiskies. Grain whiskies have a distinct character of their own (toffee, butterscotch, toast aromas, velvety texture) which shall not miss piquing the interest of the true whisky enthusiasts!

Grain whisky refers to any whisky made partially from grains other than malted barley, like corn, wheat or rye. Grain whiskies can contain some malted barley. The vast majority of grain whisky goes into blends - in fact, grain whiskies are critical for the production of blended whiskies as they knit together the real flavor from the single malts - , but there are a small and growing number of specialist grain bottlings, either by established grain distilleries such as Girvan or by acclaimed independent bottlers such as Moon Import, Signatory, Sovereign, etc.

Exciting times – at last – for grain whisky!

Caledonian is another ‘lost’ distillery of Scotland. Established in Edinburgh, Lowlands, in 1885, it was one of Scotland’s biggest distilleries, however, it was finally closed down in 1988.

North British is one of Scotland’s largest and most emblematic Scotch Grain Whisky distillery. The North British does not market a brand of its own as almost their production goes into famous blends such as The Famous Grouse, J&B Rare, Johnnie Walker Black Label and Cutty Sark.
