Recently, a Glenmorangie Rare Cask that I've been hunting for came up at a Bonhams Skinner auction. The catch was, it was in Hong Kong.
Which made sense as Cask 6872 is "Hand Selected By Dr. Bill Lumsden for MH Private Hong Kong." There was another catch, which is that there were four bottles in the auction - but as two lots of two. So now I have two - I'll try to find another local Glenmo fan who would want one, and is willing to pay, as these came pretty dear.
Part of the reason for the high cost was shipping from Hong Kong to the US. Even going the less expensive route, via the UK, shipping was more than twice my high end estimate. Ouch. I won't be too casual about bidding on Hong Kong auctions in the future.
I ran the insert through Google Translate and did some manual cleanup on the obvious issues:
---START---
GLENMORANGIEHIGHLAND SINGLE MALT
SCOTCH WHISKY
No. 6872
Classic cream and fruit flavors
Unique barrel history
At the time, cask 6872 was aging in the center of warehouse number 15 when it was selected by Dr. Bill Lumsden. This single cask whisky, rich in fruit and cream flavors, skillfully interprets Glenmorangie's signature style.
Single cask 6872 was distilled on October 16, 1990, under the personal supervision of distillery manager Murdoch Reid, and then aged in a first-fill bourbon cask.
Over time, this hand-selected American oak barrel begins to highlight the whisky's fruity characteristics, accompanied by rare notes of sweet vanilla, spice, and biscuit.
After 29 years of aging in barrels, its unique charm was discovered by Dr. Bill Lumsden.
With its fruity aromas, well-structured character, and rich creaminess, cask 6872 is undoubtedly a representative of Glenmorangie's signature style.
Dr. Bill Lumsden's Private Tasting Notes
Color:
gold color
aroma:
The aromas of nutmeg and peach shortbread subtly reveal hints of apricot and orange, followed by creamy and vanilla cheese notes. Adding a touch of water releases fruity aromas of lemon and bergamot, along with...
It smells like fresh grass.
Taste:
The silky, creamy texture offers flavors of malt, biscuit, orange chocolate, and sugared almonds. This is followed by ice cream soda and a touch of spiciness, finishing with a long, fruity aftertaste.
Rating:
excellence
SINGLE CASK
---END---I'm not so sure about that "vanilla cheese notes". If anyone can read the original and provide a better translation, please do.
Since I was already bidding on Cask 6872 and dealing with arranging shipping from Hong Kong, I also picked up another bottle of the Truffle Oak Reserve 26 year. My first bottle has become a favorite and we keep going back to it, so I figured it would be good to grab a backup while I could. Had I known what shipping was going to end up costing, I might have thought twice.
Adding to the Glenmorangie bonanza, this past Whiskey Wednesday at Julio's Liquors, I picked up two bottles of the newly arrived Harrison Ford expression. I'm not sure how long that will be in stock, so grab it while you can.

Sometimes I pick up things that are not whisky, but rather whisky-related. The recent auction hauls added to my collection of Glenmorangie paraphernalia.
Tote bag, notepad, ashtray, scarf (or pocket square), lapel pins, leather coasters, collapsible ice bag, giraffes golf club topper, a couple of flasks, a dispenser, and a picnic blanket.
The circular flask includes a collapsible cup for more civilized imbibing on the go.
There was also a wall hanging styled after a barrel end, a serving tray, more water pitchers (two large, two small), and a couple of Glencairns.
And, lastly, a bottle display stand styled after the Glenmorangie stills. I paired that with the custom bottle David Blackmore gifted me at a recent tasting we held at Julio's Liquors.

I was remiss the last time I posted recent pickups and overlooked these two bottles, from the fantastic Single Cask Nation. Back in March, Joshua Hatton was the guest for Whiskey Wednesday at Julio's Liquors and we tried a whole line of excellent bottles.
Trying to be a little more responsible, I limited myself to two - an 11 year old Fettercairn and a 21 year old Glen Grant.
If you haven't checked out SCN, you should. They have some fantastic bottles.

A little while back, when we had the Compass Box Whisky Confluence tasting, we also had bottles of most of the component whiskies to sample. One of those was Teaninich, and it was a hit.
We were all chatting and generally agreed that it would be fun to try other Teaninich expressions - so I picked up a few. It isn't a name with huge auction demand, but a sleeper, so it's not a bad get.
I grabbed 11, 12, and 13 year old single-casks from Thompson Bros.
A 14 year single-cask from Whisky Broker.
And an 8 year small batch (10 casks) from Concept 8.
Now we need to figure out an event to sample them.

My love of Single Grain Scotch is no secret. I very much enjoy them, but a lot of people don't look beyond Single Malt.
This haul included a couple of Clan Denny bottlings - a 29 year Carsebridge and a 47 year Cambus.
I also picked up a couple of Cadenhead's bottlings - an 18 year Invergordon and a 34 year Girvan.
