'Hunting for the Gorbals Vampire'
This single malt from Glasgow distillery was matured for 5 years in a refill Octave before being bottled at cask strength by Lady of the Glen for their Samhain Series. The cask yielded 62 bottles at 58.6% ABV.
The Samhain Series is a limited edition set of six whiskies which celebrate Scotland's folklore and mythology. Each bottling has a story upon its label, and artwork from Edinburgh based designer Steven Shand.
'In September 1954 several children in the Gorbal's neighbourhood claimed to have seen a seven foot tall, child killing, iron-teethed vampire lurking in the Southern Necropolis cemetary situated beside the Dixon Blazes Ironworks. This led to a frenzy among the local youth, with many of them arming themselves with improvised weapons and decending upon the cemetart in search of the supposed vampire.
The incident garnered significant media attention at the time, with newspapers reporting on the mass hysteria and the fear gripping the community'

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.
