LOT DESCRIPTION

Cadenheads 175th Anniversary. Full Set Of 12.

This set of twelve Cadenhead’s 175th Anniversary single cask bottlings is the highlight of a large collection of Cadenhead’s editions all released during 2017, the year the company celebrated the 175th anniversary of their founding in 1842, when George Duncan opened his original wine merchant and distillers agency business on Netherkirkgate in Aberdeen.

As you might expect for such a significant anniversary, all the stops were pulled out for the celebrations. This series of 12 extraordinary 175th Anniversary single casks features a wide range of whiskies including 1970s vintage casks from lost distilleries Banff, Caperdonich and Convalmore alongside sought-after long-aged 1990s casks from Laphroaig, Macallan and Rosebank, a teaspooned Balvenie (Burnside), plus 25-year-old Irish whiskey from Cooley and a 20-year-old bourbon from Heaven Hill.

Banff 1976 - 2017. 40 Year Old. Bottled by Cadenhead's to celebrate their 175th Anniversary. Single Cask. One of 192 bottles matured in a Bourbon Hogshead. 70cl. 51.2%.

In 1842 George Duncan established a wine merchant and distillery agency business in Aberdeen. Duncan was joined in the early 1850s by his brother-in-law William Cadenhead, who took over the business after Duncan’s death in 1858, changing the company’s name to Wm. Cadenhead. When Cadenhead died in 1904 the company passed to his nephew Robert Duthie, who developed the spirits side of the business.

Duthie died suddenly in 1931, and employee Ann Oliver was put in charge of Cadenhead’s. Sadly, Oliver’s tenure ended in financial difficulty and on her retirement in 1972 the business was forced to sell its entire inventory. Cadenhead’s was acquired soon afterwards by J & A Mitchell, proprietors of Springbank distillery, who relocated the business to Campbeltown. Cadenhead’s has flourished under Mitchell’s stewardship, releasing many legendary single malt bottlings in the 1980s and 1990s and now has outlets in Edinburgh and London as well as Campbeltown.

If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen.

All bottles are checked for authenticity by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.

If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be on this page.
