Phiên đấu giá “Finest and Rarest Spirits” sẽ diễn ra vào ngày 10 tháng 10 năm 2024 lúc 10:00 sáng (giờ Việt Nam), giới thiệu những loại rượu mạnh hiếm và hảo hạng nhất từ Nhật Bản, Scotland và Pháp. Đây là sự kiện đặc biệt tập hợp nhiều dòng rượu whisky Nhật Bản quý hiếm, bao gồm Karuizawa 52 tuổi 1960 – chai rượu Karuizawa lâu đời nhất từng được đóng chai, cùng với Karuizawa “The Last Masterpiece” #6017 50 tuổi 1970. Cặp chai này được lấy từ thùng cuối cùng của Eric Huang – một Doanh nhân Đài Loan và lần đầu tiên xuất hiện trong đấu giá.
Từ Scotland, The Macallan The Reach 81 Year Old 1940 – rượu whisky Scotch lâu đời nhất, ra mắt năm 2022 – sẽ được đấu giá, cùng với những chai từ Bộ sưu tập Fine & Rare của The Macallan. Nhà máy chưng cất Bowmore trên Islay cũng sẽ góp mặt với bộ ba Bowmore chưng cất vào năm 1964, bao gồm Bowmore 46 tuổi Fino Sherry Cask.
Cuối cùng, phiên đấu giá sẽ bao gồm những chai Cognac mang tính biểu tượng như Louis XIII từ những năm 1970 và các loại hiếm từ Hennessy, Hardy và Martell. Đây là cơ hội hiếm có để sở hữu những loại rượu mạnh đỉnh cao từ khắp nơi trên thế giới.

Karuizawa 52 Year Old Cask #5627 51.8 abv 1960 (1 BT70)
Estimate
2.200.000 – 3.200.000 HKD
Karuizawa 52 Year Old Cask #5627 51.8 abv 1960
Cask #5627, cask type: ex-sherry, filled on 01.02.1960 and bottled on 01.01.2013, one of only 41 bottles, unique Sennin & Toad Netsuke hangs from neck, level: high shoulder, in original presentation with booklet housed within original outer case, 51.8 abv
This iconic bottle represents more than just an incredible whisky from a now closed distillery, it is the oldest Karuizawa to have been released and one of only 41 bottles.
Originally released in 2013, this Karuizawa embodies the beautiful Japanese craftsmanship for which the distillery’s releases are known. The wooden case is carved from Wenge in the style of a Japanese puzzle box. The calligraphy on Norito Hasegawa’s artisan paper labels was hand painted in Japan by master calligrapher Soji Noshimoto (西本宗璽).
Of the 41 bottles that were produced, each is uniquely identified not by a bottle number, but by an individual character or katabori netsuke (形彫根付) that was carved from the oak cask head of cask #5627.
The dark whisky within this exquisite bottle stands at 52 years old and, at the time of its release, the oldest Japanese Whisky ever bottled. Its strength after such a long cask maturation is still an impressive 51.8% and the sherry influence is clear from the rich, dark hue of the liquid inside. This whisky is described as having a nose that conjures images of “old woods in Autumn”, and on the palate, “dense black fruits”, yet only a very select few have had the chance to own and taste this inimitable whisky.
