 Strathearn
Distillery last night joined the ranks
of Scotch whisky producers when they
sold there first bottles of single malt
whisky at auction.
The small Perthshire distillery which is one of the
smallest in Scotland launched their
first 100 bottles of Strathearn single
cask single
malt whisky at auction last night with
bottle No. 001 fetching an incredible
£4,150, with the lowest bid at a very
impressive £315. The bottles of Scotch
whisky, which have been matured for
three years and a day, are making their
way to lucky bidders around the globe in
the next few days.
The first 100 bottles from the
distillery were auctioned off to the
public by Whisky Auctioneer on the 23rd
August with the limited auction ending
last night at 7pm. Founder of Strathearn
Distillery, Tony Reeman-Clark will be
hand delivering bottle 001 to an elated
bidder in Italy.
Tony Reeman-Clark, Founder of Strathearn
Distillery said: "This has been an
amazing event, far exceeding my wildest
dreams. This has proved to me that
Strathearn’s friends are all around the
world and all I can say is thank you!"
Strathearn Distillery, which is based in
Perthshire and widely considered one of
Scotland’s smallest distilleries, has
been maturing its artisan single cask,
single malt Scotch whisky using
traditional methods and ideas.
The spirit is matured in small octave
size (50 litre) casks to give the whisky
a traditional and distinctive flavour.
By using either peated or non-peated
malt and varying the type of cask
between sherry, rum or bourbon, each
batch of whisky will be entirely unique.
Were you one of the lucky bidders, do
let us know if you were and what you
think of the new whisky if you decide to
open it as i think it will be some time
before we see any Strathearn whisky available from specialist online
whisky retailers such as
Master of Malt
