Spirits

Spirits are the highest ABV products of the alcohol family and as a result have the greatest capability to age, far beyond most fine wines. Cognac and other types of Brandy have long been collectible, with a bottle from the 1762 vintage selling at auction in 2020 for $1,500,000, and rare, aged Rums have started breaking into the mainstream but fine whisky is certainly the most desirable spirit on the world right now.


Whisky can be made in a variety of styles and is mostly produced in Japan, Ireland, the United States and most prominently, Scotland. Single malt Scotch Whisky is extremely collectible and is one of the most sought-after in the world, with the The Macallan's top releases being the pinnacle.


Fortified wines are not categorised as spirits, yet they contain a distilled spirit, usually brandy, to stop fermentation and “fortify” the wine. Port and Sherry are two of the most well-known and popular examples of fortified wines.

The Hine Cognac Early Landed 1985 is an exceptional embodiment of tradition and artistry from the esteemed House of Hine. Renowned for its production of exquisitely delicate cognacs, the House of Hine lies on the banks of the Charente River in Jarnac, France. This extraordinary vintage is known as 'Early Landed', meaning it was matured in England, thus developing a unique, enhanced flavour. The Hine Cognac Early Landed 1985 boasts a remarkable amber hue, with an ethereal palate offering scents of ripe fruits, honey, and tobacco, interwoven with hints of vanilla and oak. This symphony of flavours results from its lengthy maturation in damp British cellars. Aged for more than three decades, this cognac provides a sophisticated drinking experience with a satisfyingly long, evolving finish. As a testament to its superior quality, each bottle is individually numbered to certify its uniqueness and authenticity. A true collector's choice, Hine Cognac Early Landed 1985 represents the epitome of luxurious sipping.

Experience the remarkable artistry of the Karuizawa Single Malt 1985 Cask 2364 1985; a true testament to the craft of Japanese whisky. Distilled in Nagano Prefecture, Japan, at the now-defunct Karuizawa distillery, this 1985 vintage quickly gathered international appraisal for its distinctive flavour profile and rare availability. The whisky matures in Spanish sherry casks, which imparts a deep, rich hue alongside notes of dried fruit, earthy oak, and intoxicating spices. This elegant single malt reveals its robust, yet balanced, complexity through a harmony of dark chocolate, toasty nuts, and a hint of exotic citrus. The Karuizawa Single Malt 1985 Cask 2364 1985 not only represents a glorious era of whisky-making but is also an enticing collector's item, its value only heightened by the distillery's closure in 2011. This spiritually Japanese dram is a distinguished masterpiece blending history, tradition, and unparalleled craftsmanship.
