The Glenlivet Capsule Collection

With sustainability in mind, The Glenlivet recently unveiled a project so unique, many thought it was just a joke. The scotch brand teamed up with Notpla, a sustainable packaging company to create this capsule collection, which is comprised of three different scotch-based cocktails. The boozy capsules are packaged within edible seaweed and all it takes to consume the pod is to pop it in your mouth and take a bite. The experimental project is making its debut this month during London's Cocktail Week.

Aberlour A'bunadh Alba Scotch Whisky

One of Aberlour's core expressions, A'bunadh is Scotch Gaelic for "the original" and was inspired by the discovery of a time capsule from 1898 that was found by Aberlour in 1975. A'bunadh Alba expands the line for the first time with a cask-strength whisky that is non-chill filtered and was aged in American oak Bourbon casks. While the original A'bunadh is dark and rich due to Sherry cask maturation, Alba is light and crisp and adds a refreshing option to the Speyside distiller's portfolio. It's bottled at 57.1% ABV and is an exclusive release for the US market.

The Ultimate Whisky Collection

Made up of a wealth of iconic bottles, this collection is the first single-owner sale of spirits from Sotheby's. The winning bidder will inherit a collection that took decades to acquire, including 178 bottlings from The Macallan Fine and Rare series, the crown jewel of which is a 60 years old The Macallan 1926 from cask #263 that yielded only 40 bottles and hasn't been seen at auction for more than a decade. Additional gems include a 50-Year-Old Springbank 1919, 70-Year-Old G&M Generations bottlings of both Mortlach and Glenlivet, and a complete set of Macallan Fine and Rare Miniature bottles that are offered in an exclusively commissioned lockable wall-mounted cabinet. Bidding at Sotheby's begins on September 27th and the collection is estimated to fetch well over $4 million.

Wild Turkey Master's Keep Cornerstone Rye Whiskey

The fourth release in the award-winning Master's Keep series is the first one that isn't bourbon. Cornerstone is the first appearance of a rye whiskey in this special line, and it also happens to be the oldest rye the legendary distillery has ever released. While most of Wild Turkey's rye releases sit within the 4 to 6 year age range, Master Distiller Eddie Russell hand-picked rye that matured for nine to 11 years to create Cornerstone, which is bottled at 109 proof and maintains the iconic Wild Turkey flavor profile while adding notes of vanilla, black pepper, honey, and baked apple.

Orphan Barrel Forager's Keep Scotch Whisky

The 14th release in the Orphan Barrel family is their first that was not distilled in North America. Forager's Keep is a 26-year-old single malt scotch whisky that began its journey at a short-lived Speyside distillery called Pittyvaich which was closed less than two decades after it opened due to industry restructuring. After the distillery was shuttered in 1993, this whisky continued to age for an additional eight years and was finally bottled by Orphan Barrel at 96 proof. The first single malt from Orphan Barrel is another rare offering that's a worthy addition to any well-curated whisky collection.

Wolves First Run Whiskey

It turns out the skills of streetwear designers Jon Buscemi and James Bond aren't just limited to apparel. The pair have teamed up to tackle the world of spirits with the launch of their bespoke California whiskey brand: Wolves. The company's first release was double distilled using a rare Alambic pot still imported from Cognac, France, and is a blend of the distillate from a Stout beer that was then aged for 8 years in French oak — the distillate of a Pilsner beer which aged in American Oak for 5 years — and a spicy Rye whiskey that helps round out the finish. Only 898 bottles of First Run exist, and each one is wrapped in hand-cut Italian sheepskin leather that is embossed, printed with UV light, and laid flush to the glass by hand.

Oris Movember Edition Watch

The Movember Foundation has been raising money for men's physical and mental health issues since 2003, using the power of community to help spread awareness. Now they're teaming with Swiss watchmaker Oris and Yankees manager Aaron Boone — someone who knows a thing or two about the power of a team — on the Movember Edition watch. Based on Oris' iconic Chronoris model, it has a 39mm stainless steel case and a black dial with rose gold-plated hour and minute hands. It also features an orange second hand, and white indices that come together to create a pleasing vintage feel. An Oris 733 automatic movement powers the timepiece, which arrives on either a brown leather strap with a Movember signature mustache imprint or a stainless steel bracelet. It's packaged in a special presentation box with a leather travel pouch and a more casual red and white NATO fabric strap — a perfect bonus for those who know the importance of getting out and spending time in their community.

Oban Bay Reserve The Night's Watch Whisky

Founded in 1794, Oban sits at the portal between the West Highlands and the Hebrides Islands. The historic distillers were among a small group chosen to create a commemorative bottling for the HBO series Game of Thrones as the epic show concludes this year. While other chosen brands opted to honor Westeros houses, Oban chose to take the black and celebrate the men on The Wall. The whisky is distilled from 100% malted Scottish barley and aged in oak before being bottled in these limited edition black bottles at 86 proof. They sold out instantly, but some can still be acquired if you know where to look.

The Dalmore L'Anima 49-Year-Old Scotch Whisky

A collaboration between celebrity chef Massimo Bottura and The Dalmore's Master Distiller Richard Paterson, L'Anima (Italian for "the soul") is one of the most unique single malts every produced. Rare Dalmore expressions were used to create L'Anima, including whisky matured in small batch bourbon barrels, Gonzalez Byass casks which previously held 40-year-old 'Pedro Ximenez' sherry and Graham's Vintage Port Pipes. The 49-year-old liquid is held in a crystal decanter with a sterling silver collar, stopper, and stag and encased in a bespoke handcrafted cabinet made from Italian olive wood, American black walnut and solid ebony. The one bottle in existence is available at auction from Sotheby's and is expected to fetch north of $80,000 with all proceeds benefiting Bottura's non-profit organization, Food For Soul.

Red Spot Irish Whiskey

An Irish legend returned last fall and is ready to celebrate its first St. Patrick's Day since the mid-1960s. After a hiatus of more than 50 years, Red Spot Irish Whiskey re-joined the Spot Whiskey family and just like its siblings is triple distilled, single pot still style. Plans for the spirit to return began the early 2000s when Marsala fortified wine casks were procured from Sicily. In 2004, those casks were filled with a five-year-old Bourbon matured single pot still Irish whiskey. The whiskey also spends time maturing in Spanish sherry butts, with a total time mingling with wood that equals out to more than 15 years -- making it the oldest expression in the legendary Spot Whiskey line.

Pre-Prohibition Whiskey

Representing an era of whiskey that cannot be remade, this collection of bourbon and rye whiskey is the largest ever found distilled before prohibition to go up for auction. The collection was discovered in 2017 in California, hidden behind bookcases and a 10-bolt vault style door. Over 40 cases of whiskey from the collection go under the hammer this week, highlighted by ghosts like Green River Straight Whiskey from 1910, Hermitage Rye from 1908, and Bottled-In-Bond Old Crow distilled in 1912. The auction also includes ancient Cognacs, rare single malt whiskies, and one of the greatest collections of historic Maderia to ever go on sale at auction.

Karuizawa Murasaki Geisha Whiskies

Virtually unknown outside Japan for most of its life, the Ocean Karuizawa Distillery closed in 2001. Before it did it produced what is now one of the most sought-after whiskies in the world. These Murasaki Geisha Whiskies are one such expression. Aged 29 and 31 years, their flavor profiles are quite different, yet equally excellent. As one bottle of each was opened and poured at The Whisky Show, there are now only 59 of each remaining, and each will be offered by ballot, meaning only the luckiest will get to own the matching set.

Peerless Distilling Straight Rye Whiskey

Once the second largest distillery in the state of Kentucky, Peerless Distilling was one of the many victims of Prohibition. A century later, the distillery was revived by 4th and 5th generation descendants of the original master distiller Henry Kraver. The first release to turn heads from the resurrected brand is a rye whiskey that is non-chill filtered and bottled at barrel strength with no water added. And despite being only two years old, the whiskey helped Peerless become the only craft distiller to crack Whiskey Advocate's Top 20 Whiskies of 2017.
