Zachys Auction Presents Barrel Strength - A Collection of the World's Finest Spirits - in London on 31st March 2022

As the name implies, we feel this collection is strong. In fact it has many strengths, not only the alcoholic strength printed on the bottles. The consignor of this collection is a meticulous collector of many things. Collecting is his greatest passion in life. So much so that he works as the head curator for several museums. Yes, the same attention to detail that he brings to his work as a curator, he has brought to his whisky collecting over the past 30 years. You should expect bottles in superb condition when bidding in this sale. Almost every bottle in this sale has been purchased direct from the distilleries, independent bottlers or local importers. No secondary market finds here!

As a true lover of Whisky our consignor is happy to share what is one of the most extensive spirits collection Zachys has ever sold in Europe, with over 360 bottles of Whisky from all over world.

Scotch, of course, but bottles from Japan, Sweden and Finland all make an appearance.

Whatever style you enjoy, whether smokey peat, fruity Sherry finish, deep rancio, or barrel strength, you’ll find what you are looking for here.

How about 60+ bottles of Glenfarclas, 30+ bottles of Macallan, a vast range of rare bottles from Highland Park, Springbank, Glenrothes and many other leading Scotches?

And don’t think you’ll have to break the bank, in fact more than a 100 bottles are estimated at £200 and below.

No serious Whisky collection is complete without a decent line up of shuttered distilleries, is it? Very rare bottles of Port Ellen, Rosebank, Brora, Dallas Dhu and Karuizawa are all not produced anymore but all available here.

So please pour yourself a dram, put your bids in and join us live from our Action studio on Monday March 31st 1:00pm BST.

Dynamic Business Networking Lunch - Edmond de Rothschild (Monaco) Partners to Showcase Their Exceptional Champagnes with New and Old World Wines at the Fairmont Monte Carlo

On Thursday 16th September, as business gets back into full swing on the French Riviera and Monaco, Join Club Vivanova with Platinum Partner Edmond de Rothschild (Monaco) at the Fairmont Monte Carlo for an exclusive gourmet networking lunch featuring exceptional wines produced by the Rothschild family - whilst meeting their private banking team.


The wine tradition in the French branch of the Rothschild family was born in 1868 with the purchase of Château Lafite by James de Rothschild. After more than a century of family history linked to the world of wine, Baron Edmond de Rothschild (great-grandson of James) extended this family tradition in 1973 by acquiring two Listrac and Moulis Crus Bourgeois in Médoc: Château Clarke and Château Malmaison. He then created the Compagnie Vinicole Baron Edmond de Rothschild. In 1999, Compagnie Vinicole Baron Edmond de Rothschild bought 250 ha in Argentina at the base of the Andes to produce “Flechas de los Andes” wines with Mr Laurent Dassault.

In the Bordeaux region, Baron Benjamin de Rothschild acquired the superb property at Château des Laurets in 2003 seeking to develop the full potential of this vineyard straddling two AOCs: Puisseguin Saint-Émilion and Montagne Saint-Émilion. After significant renovation work, the estate now boasts modern, high-performance facilities.

More recently, in New Zealand, the acquisition of 26 ha of grapevines at the heart of the Marlborough valley has yielded Rimapere, an outstanding Sauvignon Blanc.

Baron Benjamin de Rothschild and his wife Ariane continue to produce high-quality wines with exacting standards, when it comes to both the choice of new terroirs and each stage of vinification.
