An old style bottle from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. This is a Dallas Dhu 18-year-old whisky distilled in February 1980 then bottled in May 1998 at full cask strength. Older bottles like these from the Society are increasingly hard to find and extremely sought after.
Dallas Dhu
Dallas Dhu is unique in Scotland as it was given up by its owners in 1986 to Historic Scotland to become a museum. Having closed like so many Scottish distilleries in 1983, it now offers visitors an opportunity to walk around a Victorian distillery and sense the manual effort it took to create whisky. In recent times there have been stories and studies about returning the distillery to production. However, for now, you are able to walk around this Charles Doig designed distillery; a classic in terms of appearance and design. For the whisky, Dallas Dhu was designed to produce for blends and never enjoyed a single malt presence. It has only been through the work of independent bottlers that we can enjoy its efforts in modern times.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I bid on the auctions?
You’ll need an account with us to place bids in any auction. Registration takes 60 seconds and there’s a small £5.00 registration fee, payable by credit or debit card. Once paid, you will be registered and can place bids in the auction immediately. The registration fee helps us ensure you’re a real person and a genuine bidder.
Why does the timer extend on a lot?
In the interest of fairness, any bids placed in the final five minutes of a particular lot will extend the end time of that Lot by 15 minutes. We believe in giving our customers a fair amount of time to increase their bid should they wish. Last second sniping isn’t in the spirit of our auctions and by using this system there is no benefit to doing so.
