One-of-a-kind charity auction!
A charity auction you don't want to miss
We're hosting a charity auction to raise money for The BEN, the Scottish Drinks & Hospitality Benevolent Charity, as well as Hospitality Action to support all the fantastic work they both do. CVH Spirits are donating the full bottle costs to the former, while we're donating everything raised above that to the latter.
Altogether, everything raised in the auction goes to charity!
The four unique bottles – each numbered "1 of 1" – available for auction are single malt Scotch whiskies from CVH's enviable portfolio: Bunnahabhain 46 Year Old 1968; Deanston 48 Year Old 1974; Ledaig 42 Year Old 1972; and Tobermory 42 Year Old 1973.
Good luck, and remember it's all for an extremely good cause.
- AUCTION CLOSES 23:59 (GMT) SAT 11 NOV 2023 -
Enter our Bunnahabhain 46 Year Old 1968 Auction
Bunnahabhain 46 Year Old 1968 (1 of 1)
A beautiful Bunnahabhain single malt Scotch whisky that was distilled all the way back in 1968. It was then matured for a huge 46 years in a refill cask in Bunnahabhain's coastal warehouses until was bottled at 41.8% ABV. Whoever nabs this will get a taste a unique example of how nearly half a century's ageing affects this Islay distillery's distinctive house style.
(70cl, 41.8%)
RRP £13,000
Enter our Deanston 48 Year Old 1974 Auction
Deanston 48 Year Old 1974 (1 of 1)
Also up for grabs is this extraordinarily old Deanston whisky. A vintage 1974 Highland single malt Scotch whisky, it was aged for nearly five decades, including a double cask finish, before it was bottled at 40.4% ABV. You just don't see Deanston this age available very often, especially not a 1 of 1 bottling! This really is a rare opportunity.
(70cl, 40.4%)
RRP £7,000
Enter our Ledaig 42 Year Old 1972 Auction
Ledaig 42 Year Old 1972 (1 of 1)
Whisky lovers know to appreciate Tobermory's peated whisky, Ledaig, but few will have ever tasted such an old and rare example. Distilled back in 1972, it was matured for a massive 42 years (including an oloroso cask finish, hence that gorgeous colour) before it was bottled up at 46.2% ABV.
(70cl, 46.2%)
RRP £9,000
Enter our Tobermory 42 Year Old 1973 Auction
Tobermory 42 Year Old 1973 (1 of 1)
Last but not least is another single malt Scotch whisky from Tobermory distillery, the fruit-tastic unpeated spirit it bottles using the distillery's name. This Scotch was distilled back in 1973 and then matured for 42 years before it was bottled in 2015 at 47.7% ABV. That maturation includes a finish in oloroso sherry casks. Like the Ledaig, this bottle comes with a smart wooden presentation box.
