- Thompson Bros. 32 year Girvan

- Thompson Bros. 35 year Invergordon

- A Signatory bottling of a 15 year old Cameronbridge vintage 1995

And that brings us to the end of the Great Auction Haul.

The penultimate post of the auction haul starts the wave of Single Grain Scotch. I've said it before, single grain is overlooked in the shadow of single malt, but there is some great stuff there. And great deals for the age.

- Sansibar bottling of a 28 year old Cambus

- William Grant & Son bottling of a 25 year old Girvan

- A Signatory 50 year old bottling of North British, distilled in 1962 - this bottling was for Taiwan.

- A Signatory 23 year old bottling of Port Dundas

- A Clan Denny 20 year old Girvan, Vintage 1990

- A Clan Denny 20 year old Invergordon, Vintage 2002

Getting near to the end of the monster auction haul, we're getting into the odds and ends.

- Indri Single Malt Whisky Trini

- Amrut Malt Gurus Greedy Angels 10 year Peated Rum Finish, which is intriguing

- Cotswolds Distillery Single Cask Collection New Vibrations

- Inchdairine Distillery RyeLaw - technically a Single Grain Scotch, but a rye, which is very unusual

- Wild Turkey Heritage Single Barrel 101 Proof

And, for a change of pace, a rum:

- Hampden Estate Rum Great House Distillery Edition 2024. This was the last one I needed to have the complete run from 2019 through 2025, so I'm all caught up.

The auction lots kept coming with bottles from High West Distillery and Westland Whiskey.

On the High West side:

- Cask Collection Batch 24G19, a blend of straight whiskeys finished in oloroso sherry barrels

- Barrel Select Batch 37386, a blend of straight whiskeys finished in a cacao nib barrel

- 14 year Light Whiskey batch 1. I had an 'oops' and ended up with two of those.

- Valley Tan Utah Whiskey

- The Noble Share, a blend of straight whiskeys finished in Marques de Casa Noble Anejo Barrels

- Rocky Mountain Rye 21 year Batch 7 & Batch 10. As a bonus, the batch 7 version is bottle 777!

And for the Westland, I'm filling in gaps. I picked up three different editions of Garryana.
- The 2016 Edition 1/1
- The 2017 Edition 2/1
- The 2019 Edition 4/1

I'm still hunting for the 2018 3/1, and then I'll have the complete (as of today) run.

The auction haul wasn't all Scotch, there were some North American goods in there as well, courtesy of WhistlePig Whiskey. And one WP-adjacent bottle.

- The 11 year old Encyclopedia of Rye Whiskey Volume One. I've had the second volume for ages, but in the auction where I picked that up I was sniped at the last second and lost volume one. Now I've finally filled in that gap.

- Farmstock Rye Beyond Bonded

- The Whistlepig + Liquid Death collaboration Wheat Whiskey.

- A Single Cask Nation 12 year bottling aged in Tokaji Casks. That intrigues me - and I expect good things from an SCN bottle.

- Lastly, all the way from Australia, a Mr Black Spirits cold brew coffee liqueur "Barrel Rested in WhistlePig Whiskey Casks. I love Mr. Black as a coffee liqueur, so I'm curious to see how the casks influence this.

Moving on from LVMH, the auction shipments also brought a number of Compass Box Whisky bottlings.

- Two bottles of the Hedonism 10th Anniversary, which brings me to three. Sometimes that's how things work out - couldn't find one for years, then my cup runneth over

- The Numinous Cask - this was another unicorn that took years to find

- A backup bottle of Experimental Grain Whisky, as my open bottle has been popular

- A Hedonism H29MMIXB. I had most of the core edition bottlings, but this was a whole to fill.

- Two bottles of the Peat Monster 10th Anniversary, Special Cask Strength Bottling for the Park Avenue Liquor Shop. This was actually a goof - I picked up the two bottles from two different auctions. I grabbed the serving because I plain forgot I'd just recently managed to finally grab it from the other auction.

- Another Peat Monster, this one bottled fit the Swedish Whisky Federation

- A last, but far from least, a true unicorn - Breakthru Blend. I wasn't certain I'd even obtain one of these.

There is one mystery in need to try to unravel. One of the two Hedonism 10th Anniversary bottles appears to be signed by John Glaser , and he wrote "Illegal Bottling" (quotes included). I have no idea what that could mean in this context. Maybe someone from Compass Box can clarify.

- Seann Chreag 21 year old

- Traigh Bhan TB/07 (seventh edition) - this was actually from Royal Mile Whiskies and not an auction
