The New Year Auction contains some exciting lots never seen in a Zachys auction, as well as a return to some of the ultra-rarities that only surface on a collectors market a few times a year, if that. First, Sake. Daishinshu is currently one of the most coveted breweries of the around 1500 that still exist in. Their sake continuously wins awards and their brewery regularly sells out of everything from their entry level releases to the more limited production bottlings. Usually, the bottle in this auction is on back order and seldom resold. When it is, it sells for some of the highest premiums that ese domestic auctions have ever seen for sake. Zachys is proud to be showcasing one of the great Daiginjo sake of and introducing their offerings of only the greatest, most sought-after bottles of this nation s spirit. Next, to Bourbon. The precious bourbon from the golden age of Pappy Van Winkle has a presence in the New Year auction, the highlight being on a single bottle of the 20 Year Old. And now to and ese whisky. With more and more speculation on the state of modern whisky production due to unprecedented demands and diminishing materials for production, collectors and connoisseurs are scrambling to secure some of the classic drams of yesteryear. Particularly distillations from 30-50 years ago represent some of the finest years of production in Scotland and we have some exemplary submissions from that golden era of whisky production reaching all across Scotland from the lowlands (Rosebank 25 Year Old distilled in 1981) and Islay (Laphroiag 27 Year Old distilled in 1980) to a Single Cask Glenlivet from Speyside (Bottled by Gordon and Macphail 47 Year Old distilled in 1965) and even a legendary 32 Year Old Springbank distilled in 1966 from Campbeltown. Meanwhile in, The Malt Whisky Society has done a special run of releases from Karuizawa all distilled in the 1990s with the exception of one from the year 2000. To Ichiro Akuto's recollection, there are fewer than 10 people around the world who own every bottle of the renowned Hanyu Card Series and there are a few bottles that are offered by collectors and tasters alike as each cask not only has a unique card face on the label but also each bottling is a special terroir: the direct expression of a single cask. Of note in this auction are the lucky Eight of Hearts, the Eight of Clubs and Eight of Diamonds as well as one of the more rare bottles: an Ace of Diamonds. Suntory wasn't the only ese whisky family who bottled single casks for collectors and restaurants in the past. Bar Keller, the famous whisky bar, also had some special casks reserved only for service at the Kyoto institution. The Hanyu 2000 Bar Keller truly is a rarity for any purist of the defunct distillery. A focus on the closed distilleries of both and Scotland includes offerings such as Hanyu Single Casks from 1990 and the rare Spirit Safe bottlings of Karuizawa. Scotland's Port Ellen has some beautiful offerings including 15 and 16 Year old bottlings from '77 and '79 respectively and the lost star of William Grant and Sons, Ladyburn, has a single cask distilled in 1973--one of the final years before the distillery was demolished. This carefully selected offering from Zachys reflects only the finest and rarest of spirits that often take decades to mature and whose very contents are in a state of constant evaporation until time of bottling. We hope you enjoy this selection and have the opportunity taste these historical intrinsic, unforgettable liquids.

Kokon In an area known for the prized snowmelt water from the ese Alps, Daishinshu makes some of s most treasured sake. The combination of pure water and local rice which benefits from a unique, arid wind that sweeps through the mountains make for extremely high quality rice. Daishinshu works with 10 farmers personally and considers everything from altitude to wind direction when purchasing individual crops for their sake. They look for clay rich loamy soils which promote deep rooted, strong ears of rice that guarantee nutrients and translate into a delicate sake with prominent minerality and a focus on particularly elegant aromatics. Having built their first brewery in 1888, Daishinshu is an 11 time Sake Awards Gold Medal Winner since 1989. Always hand polished with extremely delicate measures to ensure that each grain of rice is only 35% of its original size, Kozuki Kokon is their crown jewel: a Daiginjo with unsurpassed elegance and finesse, Kokon is selected as a single tank each year at the end of the brewing season. In a process not too different from the world of Champagne, Daishinshu will not declare a vintage every year and as a result, Kokon is only bottled in exceptional vintages. Due to the nature of the single tank bottling, each vintage of Kokon is only around 100 bottles. Sake collectors and enthusiasts wait for these releases annually and they sell out instantly. Zachys is proud to offer a three vintage vertical from Gold Medal vintages 2010, 2013, 2014, an ultimate treasure for any true sake collector. 大信州 Kozuki Kokon 單一酒桶大吟釀日本長野縣大信州的所在地, 擁有著名的日本阿爾卑斯山雪山泉水, 所釀造的清酒是全日本最珍貴之一 由純淨的水源和本地白米揉合而成, 白米經歷過穿越山峰的乾燥強風洗禮, 質素極高 大信州與 10 位農民緊密合作, 當購入收成以釀造清酒之前, 由農地的高度以至風向, 皆經過計算及深思熟慮 他們要求的土質是豐富肥沃的粘土, 此因有助紮根, 長成的麥穗精壯 富營養, 能轉化成帶明顯礦物味道 散發陣陣優雅芳香的細緻清酒 大信州於 1888 年成立首個釀酒廠, 自 1989 年起共獲得 11 次 Sake Awards 金獎 Kozuki Kokon 使用的白米, 以人手採用極精細的方法打磨, 確保每顆米粒只是原來體積的 35% Kozuki Kokon 猶如皇冠上的瑰寶 :Kokon 是極致優雅和精緻的大吟釀, 於每年釀造季節完結時, 才精心挑選出一桶 大信州與香檳的釀造方法非常相似, 不是每年都會釀造, 因此, 只有極為出色的年份才會推出 Kokon 由於單一酒桶入瓶的關係, 每個年份的 Kokon 只有大約 100 瓶 清酒收藏家及愛好者每年都對這些珍品萬分期待, 往往一推出就立即售罄 施氏很榮幸帶來了三個獲得金獎的垂直年份, 包括 2010 2013 及 2014 年的珍露 - 對任何一位真正的清酒收藏家來說, 都是極致珍藏 SAKE Daishinshu Kozuki Kokon Daiginjo Sake 17% alcohol, 720ML 2010 720ml (1) 使用米 : 播州產山田錦 100% 精米步合 : 35% ( 自家精米 ) bottled in 2010, released in October 2015, bottle #31/50, 2013 720ml (1) 使用米 : 播州產山田錦 100% 精米步合 : 35% ( 自家精米 ) bottled in 2013, released in September 2015, bottle #83/100, with damaged paper outer sleeve 2014 720ml (1) 使用米 : 播州產山田錦 100% 精米步合 : 35% ( 自家精米 ) bottled in 2014, released in November 2015, bottle #31/120, 533 above three 720ml per lot HK$10,000-15,000 US$1300-1900 FRANCE Marc de Bourgogne Hors d Age Dujac NV France Lot 535: one bin-soiled label, two damp-stained labels, three wine-stained labels 534 five 730ml per lot HK$9500-13,000 US$1200-1700 535 six 730ml per lot HK$11,000-16,000 US$1400-2000 114

BOURBON Pappy Van Winkle Pappy Van Winkle s mystery and legends go back to the Old Rip Van Winkle distillery. Pappy, who photo adorns the label of the Family Reserve bottles, was at one point the oldest active bourbon distiller, operating out of the Stitzel-Weller Distillery (which relocated once after prohibition ended) his family purchased in 1910 until his death in 1965. Although the location of production was moved to new owners, The Sazerac Company (owners of popular Bourbon Buffalo Trace), in 1992, the legendary pre-prohibition recipe that was inherited through generations of distillers is still closely guarded to this day. Consider that if the last vintage of pre-sazerac Pappy was 1992, the final casks produced at the old Stitzel-Weller distillery would have turned 20 years old in 2012. Bearing in mind that the age statement on any bottle of whisky is the minimum age of the whisky in a bottle, there will never be a bottle of 20 Year Old Pappy whose contents are from that legendary distilling era of the old distillery after 2012. Elliot Faber Pappy Van Winkle 的故事充滿傳奇和神秘色彩, 可追溯到 Old Rip Van Winkle 蒸餾廠 印在 Family Reserve 系列瓶裝上的肖像照主人公 Pappy, 曾經是最年長並活躍的波本蒸餾酒師, 他在家族於 1910 年購入的 Stitzel-Weller 蒸餾廠 ( 在禁酒令廢止後曾經遷移 ) 操作釀製過程, 直至 1965 年逝世為止 雖然生產地址已經在 1992 年轉移往新東主 The Sazerac Company( 著名 Bourbon Buffalo Trace 的擁有者 ) 的所在地, 但那份比禁酒令年代更久遠的傳奇配方仍然繼續在每一代釀酒人之間傳承下去, 至今如一 試細想著, 若 Sazerac 接管前的 Pappy 最後一個年份是 1992 年, 那麼老舊的 Stitzel-Weller 蒸餾廠最後生產的原酒在 2007 年 2012 年和 2015 年時就已經分別陳釀了 15 20 和 23 年 別忘了, 所有威士忌瓶上的年份標示是指瓶內最年輕的原酒的年份, 因此一瓶 23 年 Old Pappy 肯定不會含有在這傳奇蒸餾酒年代之後生產的原酒 Elliot Faber Pappy Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old Bourbon Bourbon one lightly scuffed label, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky, 12 years old, Lot "B", bottled by Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery, 45.2% alcohol, 700ML 536 two 700ml per lot HK$8000-12,000 US$1000-1600 Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 20 Year Old The 20 year Pappy is all but disappeared.

Bowmore Bowmore lies in the west of Scotland on Islay and was the first of the island s distilleries to have an official license to distill, over 230 years ago!

The Macallan Irish monk St. Fillan was a Christian missionary who lived in the eighth century. During his travels through what is modern day Speyside in Craigellachie, Moray, he noted how fertile the land was. The Macallan, derived from Gaelic, is associated with prestige and quality and the reputation has lived on for well over 1000 years. Exclusively using sherry casks in their older bottlings, their maturation and their style are known to be some of the most dense and rich whisky in Speyside and beyond. The famed distillery has changed hands a few times over the centuries but the ultra-soft water source from deep underground remains constant. The demand for The Macallan malts far overshadows the supply and, as a result, any limited release by this distillery becomes an instant treasure. Many purists of The Macallan maintain that the vintage bottles with distillation dating back from the 1970 s contain some of the famous distilleries greatest drams. Today, Zachys has on offer some of these ultimately impossible to find bottles.

Since then, The Macallan has been releasing annually this 18 Year old expression with the final vintage being in 1986. It is always a wonderfully sherried yet balanced expression of the famed distillery. These releases pre-date the fine oak series where The Macallan began to integrate the use of bourbon casks in blending with their sherry casks.

Closed Whisky Distilleries A fine and rare whisky begins to enter the world of unattainable when its doors close for the final time. With global focus on closed ese whisky distilleries at the turn of the 21st century, some collectors have forgotten about the Scottish distilleries that have closed in the past decades. With demands for historical quality drams at an all-time high, the modernization of the craft process and resources becoming ever scarce, connoisseurs long for a taste of whisky from a different time. The bottles featured in this month s auction feature a glimpse into distilleries whose production methods are no longer achievable by modern standards. 已停產的蘇格蘭威士忌蒸餾廠當威士忌酒廠再一次關上其大門的那天開始, 罕珍佳釀同時走進一個高不可攀的世界 當國際焦點集中在 21 世紀初開始停產的日本威士忌廠, 部份收藏家似乎忘卻了過去數十年間, 亦有不少蘇格蘭威士忌廠都已停產 長久以來, 市場對於高質素的陳年威士忌需求甚大, 加上工序現代化及資源逐漸減少, 因此鑑賞家對於不同年代的威士忌抱着熱切的追求 今月的拍賣會將呈獻多瓶現已停產的威士忌酒廠出品, 此等佳釀以傳統方法釀造, 而經現今方式釀製的窖藏均無法比擬 ISLAY Port Ellen 125

Port Ellen In the past, Port Ellen distillery was a fully functioning distillery on Islay, producing a classic briny Islay expression. They even produced their own malt in their own malt houses. They had financial troubles that forced a closure of the distillery in 1929 but they always continued to run their maltings as their famed maritime terroir became an iconic expression most recognizable in their malts. With a change in fortune and increased recognition, in the late 1960 s they began distillation again their quality continued to improve and in 1979, they produced some of the distillery s greatest whiskies, fully oxidative with a round oak influence and the tell-tale Port Ellen Umami. Unfortunately, the economics of whisky production got the better of Port Ellen for a final time. The drams of 79 didn t seem to mature fast enough and Port Ellen had to turn off their stills for the last time in 1983 due to financial trouble. What happened in those 15-odd years has gone down as some of the most historic, most revered and greatest quality whisky making in history. The terroir of Port Ellen has not been duplicated and it represents a lost era in whisky s illustrious history. Bottles are released in a very slow and diminishing trickle, it is ironic that the distillery had to close due to financial trouble because they are now some of the most highly sought-after bottles in the world. In 2001, Port Ellen began a series of annual releases from their golden years of the late 1970 s. These single cask distillery releases are coveted amongst collectors and those who wish to taste Port Ellen s greatest offerings. Usually selling out in a matter of weeks or even days, these annual releases have become come of each years most anticipated. Each cask is mature at over two decades old and has been selected by some of s most discerning noses and pallets to capture the best that was ever produced. Zachys has a collection of the first 12 annual releases including their first ever official 30 Year release and the fabled 2nd release: often declared as Port Ellen s greatest distillery bottling which happened in the year 1978. Port Ellen 多年前, 位於 Islay 的 Port Ellen 是一座具規模且運作有序的威士忌廠, 釀造出略帶鹹味具經典 Islay 風格的威士忌 他們甚至在自家麥芽工場中製造麥芽 於 1929 年, 他們因財政問題而被迫關閉威士忌廠, 但卻堅持製造麥芽, 而其麥芽因為海洋性風土而帶有別樹一格的獨特味道, 很容易被分辨出來 隨着收入改善及知名度大增, 在 1960 年代後期, 他們再次開始蒸餾威士忌, 而且質量有所提升及不斷進步 ; 直至 1979 年, 他們釀成了酒廠最出色的威士忌之一 傳說中的 Port Ellen Umami: 味道完全氧化, 並帶有圓潤的橡木氣息 不幸地, 威士忌龐大的釀造支出再次令 Port Ellen 陷入財政問題 1979 年釀製的威士忌似乎熟成得太慢, 到了 1983 年, 財政問題最終令酒廠再次關閉其蒸餾設施 短短 15 年間所發生的事, 成就了最有歷史價值 最受人愛戴而且最高質素的威士忌製作 Port Ellen 的獨有風土味道無可替代, 它正正代表着威士忌輝煌歷史中, 一個失去的時代 他們的威士忌推出市面的速度很慢, 而且往往只有極少數量 回想起從前威士忌廠因財政問題而被迫關閉, 現在他們的珍酩卻是全球最灸手可熱的威士忌窖藏, 這實在有點諷刺 自 2001 年起,Port Ellen 每年推出一系列產自 1970 年代後期, 亦即是他們黃金年代的珍品 這批單一木桶的酒廠出品, 無論在收藏家圈子, 抑或那些渴求一嚐 Port Ellen 頂級珍品的人們當中, 皆叫人垂涎三尺 這些年度推出的威士忌, 成為每年最令人期待的珍品, 不到數星期 甚至數日便將售罄 每個木桶中的酒的熟成均超過 20 年以上, 且由蘇格蘭中擁有最敏銳嗅覺和味蕾的專家精心挑選, 務求匯聚最出色的佳釀 施氏擁有首 12 個年份推出的系列典藏, 包括 Port Ellen 官方首次推出的 30 周年系列及傳說中的第 2 系列 : 產於 1978 年, 經常獲譽為 Port Ellen 最出色的威士忌傑作 Port Ellen 1st Release 22 Year Old Single Malt 1979 into neck, Natural Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky, distilled in 1979, aged 22 years, matured and bottled by the distillers, bottled in 2001, limited edition bottle #3006/6000, 56.2% alcohol, 700ML 565 one 700ml per lot HK$24,000-36,000 US$3200-4600 Port Ellen 3rd Release 24 Year Old Single Malt 1979 into neck, Natural Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky, distilled in 1979, aged 24 years, matured and bottled by the distillers, bottled in 2003, limited edition bottle #6343/9000, 57.3% alcohol, 700ML 567 one 700ml per lot HK$11,000-16,000 US$1400-2000 Port Ellen 2nd Release 24 Year Old Single Malt 1978 into neck, Natural Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky, distilled in 1978, aged 24 years, matured and bottled by the distillers, bottled in 2002, limited edition bottle #4911/12000, 59.35% alcohol, 700ML 566 one 700ml per lot HK$12,000-18,000 US$1600-2400 Port Ellen 4th Release 25 Year Old Single Malt 1978 bottom neck, Natural Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky, distilled in 1978, aged 25 years, matured and bottled by the distillers, bottled in 2004, limited edition bottle #3020/5100, 56.2% alcohol, 700ML 568 one 700ml per lot HK$12,000-18,000 US$1600-2400 126

The project as a single malt was very brief and although some of the spirits were used at times for parent company William Grant and Sons projects, the stills for Ladyburn shut down over 40 years ago after less than a decade of production. Single cask bottlings from that brief moment in time where Ladyburn was in production are seldom released but when they are, they are celebrated as some of Scotland s rarest bottlings from one of the shortest lived operations in Scotland s whisky producing history.

Rosebank Founded in the 19th century, Rosebank stood as an icon for whisky production in a region that was less celebrated for the quality of its whiskies: the lowlands. Lying on the canal that separated Glasgow and Ediborough, Rosebank was aptly named for the roses that grew alongside the same water source that the distillery drew upon for their whiskies. A delicate departure from the whiskies of Scotland s other regions that are deliberately heavily sherried or peated, the whiskies of Rosebank are notoriously elegant, floral and fruit forward with purity of malt and gentle oak influence. Rosebank Rosebank 創立於 19 世紀, 它位處 低地 (the lowlands), 並不是一個以釀造威士忌聞名的地方, 而它卻是那裡的威士忌製造所明星 Rosebank 實位於一條分隔格拉斯哥 (Glasgow) 和愛丁堡 (Edinburgh) 的運河旁邊, 而蒸餾廠取名為 Rosebank, 正因為酒廠抽取水源釀造威士忌的地方附近種滿了玫瑰花 Rosebank 與蘇格蘭其他地區釀造的威士忌有一個微小的分別, 就是它特別濃郁的雪利酒或煤炭味道,Rosebank 的威士忌出名優雅 散發鮮花和水果香氣, 還有麥芽純粹的味道和幽幽的橡木氣息 Rosebank 25 Year Old Single Malt 1981 bottom neck, Natural Cask Strength Lowland Single Malt Whisky, distilled in 1981 and bottled in 2007, triple distilled, aged 25 years, bottle #01743, 61.4% alcohol, 700ML 584 one 700ml per lot HK$10000-15,000 US$1300-1900 Rosebank 21 Year Old Single Malt 1992 individual es bottom neck or better, Natural Cask Strength Lowland Single Malt Whisky, distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2014, triple distilled, aged 21 years, 55.3% alcohol, bottle #3111 and 3130, 700ML 585 two 700ml per lot HK$8000-12,000 US$1000-1600 Glenfiddich Ultimate 38 Year Old Single Malt original presentation gift box 2cm below foil, Single Malt Whisky, distilled and bottled by Glenfiddich Distillery, aged 38 years, American oak barrels and European oak butts, bottle #375, release #2, 700ml, Glencairn crystal decanter with crystal stopper 586 one 700ml per lot HK$38,000-55,000 US$4800-7000 Glendronach Kenny Hsu s Selection 20 Year Old Cask #491 Single Cask 1993 original presentation box into neck, Single Malt Whisky, distilled on 19th February 1993 and bottled in January 2014 by Glendronach Distillrty, aged 20 years, Oloroso sherry cask, cask #491, bottle #347/578, 54.2% alcohol, 700ML 587 one 700ml per lot HK$12,000-18,000 US$1600-2400 Macallan Travel Collection Single Malt bottom neck or better, Single Highland Malt Whisky, distilled and bottled by the Macallan Distillers Ltd, 40% alcohol, 500ML 1920s 500ml (1) bin-soiled, damp-stained and scuffed label, a re-creation of 1920's style Macallan, lightly wrinkled and heavily dampstained 1930s 500ml (1) heavily damp-stained and bin-soiled label, a re-creation of 1930's style Macallan, lightly wrinkled and damp-stained 1940s 500ml (1) heavily damp-stained and bin-soiled label, a re-creation of 1940's style Macallan, heavily damp-stained and bin-soiled 1950s 500ml (1) lightly scuffed label, a re-creation of 1950's style Macallan, lightly wrinkled and damp-stained 588 above four 500ml per lot HK$12,000-18,000 US$1600-2400 Laphroaig Single Malt 1990 into neck, Islay Single Malt Whisky, distilled by Laphroaig Distillery in 1990, 700ml The Whisky Agency 18 Year Old 700ml (1) bottled by The Whisky Agency in 2008, aged 18 years, EX-Bourbon Hogshead, production: 240 bottles, 56% alcohol The Whisky Agency 21 Year Old 700ml (1) bottled by The Whisky Agency in 2011, aged 21 years, EX-Bourbon Hogshead, production: 279 bottles, 56.8% alcohol Wilson & Morgan 20 Year Old 700ml (1) bottled for Wilson & Morgan in 2010, aged 20 years, Casks #2348/49, 46% alcohol, original wood case 589 above three 700ml per lot HK$10,000-15,000 US$1300-1900 130

Brora Brora, for a short period, was once one of the great heavily peated whiskies produced outside of the Islay Region. Established in 1819, the distillery originally called Clynelish silenced their stills in 1983. Zachys is offering two 35 Year old releases which were distilled during the transitional years of the name change from Clynelish to Brora. During that time, the style changed to a lighter, more elegant pest though they still worked with a relatively peaty malt considering their location in the Northern Highlands. As a historical reference, these drams represent some of the great disappearing works of Scotland's great whisky producers in the 1970's.

JAPANESE WHISKY 日本威士忌

Hanyu After a long heritage of making sake, in 1941, Isouji Akuto founded Hanyu distillery in the mountainous region of Saitama, not too far from Tokyo. Akuto took advantage of s whisky Boom of the late 70 s and began distilling Single Malt Whisky in 1980. His run of production was only for 20 years as the distillery stopped production in 2000. Thankfully for everyone, in the 2000 s, a young former employee of Suntory purchased the forgotten casks that were never bottled before they were destroyed by the distillery s new owner. This employee s name was Ichiro Akuto, the grandson of Hanyu founder Isouji Akuto. In 2008, all remaining casks were transferred from the town of Hanyu, where the old distillery lay, to Ichiro s new distillery in a nearby town called Chichibu. It is here that forgotten casks were transformed by Ichiro. His mission was to put a character to every cask, a face to each barrel. Not just a cask number. Ichiro s creative guise gave birth to the extremely sought after Card Series bottlings. The final bottle of the Ichiro s Card Series has only recently been released and the legend of the bottles lives on as one of the major building blocks of s current whisky renaissance. Each treasure is fine and rare and diminishing rapidly. There aren't many more drams to taste from Hanyu s past and it will be exciting to watch future bottles evolve from Chichibu s present distilling rebirth. 羽生與秩父蒸餾所家族擁有悠長的釀造清酒背景, 肥土いそうじ先生在 1941 年落戶於離東京不遠的埼玉縣山區 創立了羽生蒸餾所, 主力釀造燒酎 肥土家看準了 1970 年代末期起在日本興起的威士忌熱潮, 於 1980 年開始出品單一麥芽威士忌 可惜, 羽生的威士忌生產線只運作了 20 年,2000 年便完全停產 然而世事微妙, 在 2000 年代中期羽生蒸餾所被新主接管 新主準備把酒窖內一桶桶的威士忌當垃圾棄掉時, 一位年輕的三得利前僱員把它們全部買下 這位年人名叫肥土伊知郎, 正是肥土いそうじ的孫兒 2008 年, 伊知郎把這些威士忌由羽生市移至附近的秩父市, 因為他在這兒剛剛創立了自己的蒸餾所 : 秩父蒸餾所 這些被遺忘的生命之水, 在伊知郎手上得以重生 他的任務並非單純把這些舊酒入瓶出售, 而是為每一桶酒賦予獨特 唯一的面貌 憑著他的創意頭腦, 當今最受追捧的威士忌之一的 羽生紙牌系列 誕生了 這系列的最後一款威士忌剛面世不久, 而它們的傳奇故事, 已然成為目前日本威士忌復興的其中一塊重要基石 除了羽生的舊窖藏, 伊知郎手上還有一些源自川崎 輕井沢等已結業蒸餾所的舊酒, 這些產於日本威士忌輝煌時代的精品, 將由他細心看管, 爾後少量地入瓶發售 雖然伊知郎在 2008 年開始製作自己品牌的威士忌, 不過這些數十年的陳年佳釀則永遠無法模仿 無法複製 此等精品, 既珍且稀, 流通量也只會急速減少, 世上所餘的數量可能需要以 杯 來計算 而我們對秩父蒸餾所未來的作品也非常關注, 期待努力於重建家業的伊知郎為日本威士忌帶來一番新氣象 Hanyu Full Proof 20 Year Old Cask #9307 Single Cask 1988 3cm below foil, lightly scuffed label, ese Single Malt Whisky, distilled by Hanyu Distillery in 1988 and bottled in 2008, butt #9307, bottle #316/534, 55% alcohol, "Single Nippon Malt for Full Proof Europe", 700ML 612 one 700ml per lot HK$16,000-24,000 US$2000-3200 Hanyu 22 Year Old Cask #4725 Single Cask 1990 蝦夷琥珀, ese Single Malt Whisky, distilled by Hanyu Distillery in 1990 and bottled in 2012, aged 22 years, cask #4725, serial #56, 54.5% alcohol, 700ML 613 one 700ml per lot HK$19,000-28,000 US$2400-3600 Hanyu 19 Year Old Cask #9305 Single Cask 1990 3cm, ese Single Malt Whisky, distilled by Hanyu Distillery in 1990 and bottled in 2009, production: 626 bottles, cask #9305, Hogshead, Spanish sherry butt, 53.4% alcohol, 700ML 614 one 700ml per lot HK$12,000-18,000 US$1600-2400 Hanyu The Nectar of the Daily Drams 19 Year Old Cask #377 Single Cask 1991 ese Single Malt Whisky, distilled by Hanyu Distillery in 1991, selected and bottled by the Nectar Molenstraat in 2010, aged 19 years, Red oak heads, cask #377, 56% alcohol, 700ML 615 one 700ml per lot HK$8500-13,000 US$1100-1700 137

Karuizawa Originally settled by Americans because of the volcanic rock-filtered ultra-pure spring water, Karuizawa has changed hands many times in its short history but it all began in 1955 at a vineyard near Mount Asama in Nagano,. Asama. The distillery closed in the year 2000 along with Hanyu and Ichiro Akuto assumed custody of the remaining casks before the distillery was completely dismantled in the mid 2000 s. The releases from Karuizawa are few and far between; they become scarcer and scarcer as there are fewer and fewer casks left to bottle. The Noh release, with each label portraying a character from the Noh ese theatre is now a cult collectible. In the 2000 s an English/Taiwanese joint venture called Number One Drinks purchased the remaining casks from the closed distillery and they began to release the casks under a carefully curated set of different themes. The aforementioned Noh series are one of them but there also exists a rare Samurai series and a Sumo collection, amongst others. The library bottles are carefully selected casks that are indicative of Karuizawa s sherried style with single cask releases from the 60 s, 70 s and 80 s. Verticals are extremely hard to come by and they are very special to taste as they are indicative of how the distillery slowly evolved over the decades. Also extremely rare are the Pre-Number One Drinks bottlings. These are old releases that were bottled either in the 90 s or earlier, making them distilled in decade s best and a true piece of ese Whisky History. 輕井沢 (Karuizawa) 美國人看準輕井沢由火山岩石過濾 極度純淨的泉水, 首先在該地落戶, 後來輕井沢在短短的歷史中多次易手, 但一切均由 1955 年日本長野縣 (Nagano) 淺間山 (Mount Asama) 附近的一個葡萄園開始 輕井沢蒸餾廠跟羽生蒸餾廠 (Hanyu) 在 2000 年相繼關閉, 到了 2000 年代中期,Ichiro Akuto 在蒸餾廠未被完全拆卸之前, 保留餘下未入瓶的原酒 輕井沢相隔好一段時間才推出威士忌, 而且數量極少 ; 它們的威士忌只會越來越稀有, 因為餘下來的原酒越來越少 能系列 (Noh) 每個酒標上均描繪了一個日本能劇的角色, 現在已是難得一見的珍藏 2000 年代中期, 一間英國 / 台灣合資公司 Number One Drinks 從已關閉的蒸餾廠買入餘下未入瓶的原酒, 而且小心翼翼地以不同的主題包裝原酒, 並推出市面 剛提及的 能系列 便是其中之一, 同時亦有罕見的 侍系列 (Samurai series), 以及 相樸典藏 (Sumo collection) 收藏佳釀經過精心挑選, 為 60 70 和 80 年代推出的單一木桶威士忌, 全都展現輕井澤的雪利酒風格 遇上垂直年份的機會更難能可貴, 而且它們表現出蒸餾廠多年來的演變, 所以非常特別 值得一試 此外,Number One Drinks 年代之前釀造的威士忌亦非常罕有 這些陳年佳釀於 90 年代或以前入瓶, 是黃金年代蒸餾出來的傑作, 同時是真真正正的日本威士忌歷史 Karuizawa 32 Year Old Cask #6994 Single Cask 1977 scuffed 5.5cm, distilled by Karuizawa Distillery in 1977 and bottled on 24th August 2009, single cask, cask #6994, 62.7% alcohol, 700ML 627 one 700ml per lot HK$28,000-42,000 US$3600-5500 Karuizawa 36 Year Old Cask #8383 Single Cask 1978 6cm, ese Single Malt Whisky, distilled by Karuizawa Distillery in December 1978 and bottled in July 2014, Ex-Bourbon cask, cask #8383, 63% alcohol, 700ML 628 one 700ml per lot HK$20,000-30,000 US$2600-3800 Karuizawa 31 Year Old Cask #6568 Single Cask 1980 5.5cm, ese Single Malt Whisky, distilled by Karuizawa Distillery in 1980 and bottled on 2nd August 2011, cask #6568, 56.4% alcohol, 700ML 629 one 700ml per lot HK$15,000-22,000 US$1900-2800 Karuizawa Geisha 30 Year Old Cask #6256 Single Cask 1981 5.5cm, ese Single Malt Whisky, distilled by Karuizawa Distillery in 1981 and bottled in 2011, cask #6256, 57.5% alcohol, 700ML 630 one 700ml per lot HK$16,000-24,000 US$2000-3200 Karuizawa 29 Year Old Cask #2279 Single Cask 1982 5cm, ese Single Malt Whisky, distilled by Karuizawa Distillery in 1982 and bottled on 16th September 2011, cask #2279, 58.1% alcohol, 700ML 631 one 700ml per lot HK$13,000-19,000 US$1700-2400 Karuizawa 27 Year Old Cask #2963 Single Cask 1984 5cm, ese Single Malt Whisky, distilled by Karuizawa Distillery in 1984 and bottled on 20th September 2011, cask #2963, 57.2% alcohol, 700ML 632 one 700ml per lot HK$12,000-18,000 US$1600-2400 Karuizawa 29 Year Old Cask #7802 Single Cask 1984 into neck, distilled by Karuizawa Distillery on 29th November 1984 and bottled on 13th October 2014, aged 29 years, Spanish oak, Olorosso sherry butt, cask #7802, bottle #294/577, selected by Richard Kelly, Marius Vestnes, Martin T.

The Noh Collection The Noh Collection is an unprecedented collection of single cask bottles with each cask depicting a different character from the famous Noh Musical Drama that has been a part of ese Culture for over 600 years. While each release was slowly leaked from markets such as Taiwan over only the last number of years, they encapsulate a piece of history that will never be reclaimed and as such, in combination with their unprecedented quality, the bottles evaporated from the market almost immediately.

The Samurai Series Karuizawa followed up with some of their most prized casks when they released the Samurai Series: a collection of 10 fully mature single casks with labels depicting traditional Samurai scenes. Some of these casks lost so much nectar due to angel share and porosity of the casks that there were only slightly over one or two hundred bottles yield from each cask. Along with a selection from this series, Zachys is pleased to offer a limited selection of two single sherry butts that show the entire image of the Samurai series. These two single sherry casks encompass the structure and complexity of all of the casks selected for the entire Samurai series and are often seen as a tangent to the highly anticipated Karuizawa collection: the ultimate completion to this saga. 侍系列 典藏 (The Samurai Series) 輕井沢 (Karuizawa) 推出 侍系列 典藏, 貫徹它們廣受愛戴的威士忌 :10 瓶完全熟成的單一木桶威士忌, 瓶身附有描繪傳統武士場面的酒標 因為天使的分享及酒桶上的氣孔, 部份酒桶流失大量美酒, 當中每桶只能釀成略多於一至二百瓶的威士忌 除這典藏以外, 施氏欣然帶來兩個限量版單一雪利酒大酒桶釀製的威士忌, 展現整個 侍系列 的面貌 所有被挑選釀造 侍系列 的威士忌, 其結構和複雜性都反映其中, 而且經常被視為是萬眾期待的輕井沢典藏的切入點 : 傳說的最完美結局 Karuizawa Samurai 30 Year Old Cask #3139 Single Cask 1984 original presentation wood case 5.5cm, distilled by Karuizawa Distillery and bottled in 2014, aged 30 years, Sherry butt, cask #3139, production: 494 bottles, 55.4% alcohol, 700ML 641 one 700ml per lot HK$28,000-42,000 US$3600-5500 Karuizawa Samurai 30 Year Old Cask #7843 Single Cask 1985 original presentation wood case 6cm, distilled by Karuizawa Distillery and bottled in 2015, aged 30 years, Sherry butt, cask #7843, production: 458 bottles, 58.3% alcohol, 700ML 643 one 700ml per lot HK$30,000-46,000 US$3800-6000 Karuizawa Samurai 30 Year Old Cask #3620 Single Cask 1985 original presentation wood case 6cm, distilled by Karuizawa Distillery and bottled in 2015, aged 30 years, Sherry butt, cask #3620, production: 280 bottles, 60.2% alcohol, 700ML 642 one 700ml per lot HK$34,000-50,000 US$4400-6500 Lot 641 Lot 642 Lot 643 145

Nikka Miyagikyo Distillery The distillery of Miyagikyo was established after three years of searching by Masataka Taketsuru and his colleagues. It was selected for its proximity to mountains and rivers with the ideal climate for a lowland style whisky. The distillery was founded in 1969 and it is here that Nikka blends their Single Malt Miyagikyo with Yoichi whisky to produce the Taketsuru whiskies. The single cask bottlings from Nikka were leaked occasionally to the European market or to a handful of specialists around the world but are becoming increasingly harder to find. This year, Nikka reported being completely sold out of some of their whiskies, even at their distillery! Even their flagship whiskies are hard to find on the market, making their limited releases ultra-rare. 日華宮城峽蒸餾所至於宮城峽蒸餾所的選址, 則是竹鶴與其同事耗費三年時間遍尋全國的成果 蒸餾所 1969 年建於山水環抱之地, 氣候極之適宜生產具蘇格蘭低地風格的威士忌 而日華也在這裡將單一麥芽的宮城峽與余市調合 創作出公司另一款威士忌 竹鶴 日華的單桶威士忌偶爾會流出至歐洲市場, 然而除了在蒸餾所和全球少數幾家威士忌專門店, 則絕少有機會一睹, 而且逐漸難尋 今年, 日華公開宣佈品牌旗下某幾款威士忌已經完全售罄, 即使在他們的蒸餾所也買不到! 市面已極少見到他們的旗艦作品, 遑論是他們的限量版威士忌 Lot 658 148

Nikka Yoichi Distillery Masataka Taketsuru, the controversial father of ese Whisky, began production at Yoichi in 1936 and named the distillery after the fishing town of the same name. Taketsuru, originally working for Suntory, left Suntory and Yamazaki in its early days for Yoichi on the northern ese island of Hokkaido because he believed it contained a similar climate to Scotland, and he wanted to make a Scottish style whisky. The whisky has become iconic in that its character is powerful but the whisky never loses its sense of balance. Yoichi boasts many unique opportunities such as having their own peat for malting due to the location of the distillery and, in fact, Yoichi is the only distillery that still uses direct fire by charcoal to fire its stills rather than the steam that everyone else in the world is using. The result is a certain rusticity that can now only be found at Yoichi. 日華余市蒸餾所極具爭議性的 日本威士忌之父 竹鶴政孝在 1936 年選址北海道小漁港余市作為基地, 開始生產與該地同名的威士忌 原本是三得利和山崎蒸餾所員工的他, 認為北海道的氣候近似蘇格蘭, 有利於他製作出具蘇格蘭風格的威士忌 事實上余市威士忌的確別具一格, 力度強勁之餘又不失平衡感 這家蒸餾所在地理上得天獨厚, 例如擁有自己的泥煤以處理麥芽, 又如當絕大部份威士忌廠都已轉用蒸汽蒸鍋時 余市仍然以炭火直燒的方式進行蒸餾, 這使得余市的作品自有一份質樸感覺 Lot 663 150

Suntory Yamazaki Distillery Yamazaki may not have been the first distillery with a license to distil in, but they were indeed the first to produce whisky as we know it today. Founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, whose shortened name became the flagship moniker for the Suntory brand, Yamazaki distillery was built in its location in the Kyoto prefecture because of its infamously pure water dating back to Samurai times. Enthusiasts and novices alike attest to the distinctive softness and approachability of whisky produced in this area and it is this character that has become a trademark of the Suntory name. All of their whiskies are as sought-after because of their taste as well as their scarcity. Suntory special releases are very limited in number (few thousand bottles at a time) and only available in specific countries, making them some of the most elusive bottles on today s market. The unique Owner s Cask bottles, initially difficult to find, are now essentially impossible to find since the Suntory distilleries have discontinued the program indefinitely. 三得利山崎蒸餾所 (Suntory Yamazaki Distillery) 山崎蒸餾所可能不是第一所獲得日本蒸餾牌照的蒸餾所, 眾所周知, 它的確是第一所釀造日本威士忌的酒廠 山崎蒸餾所由鳥取信治郎 (Shinjiro Torii) 於 1923 年創立, 他名字的縮寫成了品牌三得利 (Suntory) 的標誌性稱號 山崎蒸餾所建於京都府的原因, 是因為早於武士時代已享負盛名的純淨水源 無論是愛好者或初學者, 都能證明這地區所釀造的威士忌, 擁有獨特柔順和平易近人的感覺, 而這些特質已成為三得利品牌的標記 威士忌的味道和罕珍度, 令品牌所有威士忌都非常受歡迎 由於三得利特別版的數量稀少 ( 每次只有數千瓶 ), 加上只在特定國家發售, 令它們成為現時市場上最難以尋覓的佳釀之一 獨一無二的 Owner s Cask 威士忌, 原本已一瓶難求, 自從三得利蒸餾所無限期停止釀造計劃, 現在幾乎絶跡市面 Suntory Yamazaki 29 Year Old Cask RF1037 Single Cask 1979 original wood case ese Single Malt Whisky, distilled in May 1979 and bottled in September 2008, Wood Type: ese Mizunara Oak, Cask Type: Butt, Cellar: Yamazaki Distillery, Location: 46-4-2, Cask #RF1037, bottle #95/294, 55%, 700ML 669 one 700ml per lot HK$34,000-50,000 US$4400-6500 Lot 669 153
