Live Charity Auction Lots

​Proudly presented in an exclusive collaboration with North Wales' very own Anglesey Mon Distillery, we are thrilled to offer a completely unique, 1 of 1 bottle of Y Copr.

​To make this lot even more unrepeatable, this fantastic bottling comes complete with a matching, 1 of 1 print of the label artwork, individually hand-signed by the artist, Charlotte Williams. You are bidding on a completely unique combination of both spirit and art.

​The bottle's striking label features a full graphic illustration capturing the raw, majestic landscape of the Amlwch quarry at Parys Mountain on Anglesey.

​During the 18th and 19th centuries, Parys Mountain dominated the global market, rapidly becoming the largest copper mine in the world. This special release is deeply rooted in this monumental era of Welsh copper heritage. The immense wealth and heavy industry of the Anglesey mines transformed the region, fuelling global trade and sheathing the hulls of the Royal Navy's wooden warships to protect them from the elements. This connection to naval defence makes the bottle a uniquely profound tribute for an auction benefiting the Royal British Legion.

Y Copr (Welsh for The Copper) pays homage to this industrial history. Bottled at a perfectly balanced 48% ABV, this premium Welsh blended malt whisky delivers a complex, warming profile with a rich depth that honors the grit, spirit, and enduring legacy of the ancient copper kingdom of Anglesey.

​Bidding Note: With only one bottle and one matching print of this specific iteration in existence, this is your chance to own a true piece of North Wales liquid history while supporting our veterans. Be sure to place your maximum comfortable bid early to avoid disappointment!

Operation POSTMASTER Commemorative Edition

Donated by Black Alpha Irish Whiskey, this exclusive release has been created to mark the 80th anniversary year of the disbandment of the Special Operations Executive (SOE).

Inspired by Operation POSTMASTER, one of the most audacious and precisely executed covert operations of the Second World War, the release centres on a 10 Year Old Irish Single Malt, matured in a single cask, triple distilled and bottled at 56.5% ABV natural cask strength.

Limited to just 220 bottles worldwide, each bottle is presented in a bespoke solid ash presentation case and accompanied by a collection of commemorative items designed to tell the story behind the operation.

The presentation includes:

• A bottle of Black Alpha Operation POSTMASTER Single Cask Irish Whiskey

• An illustrated history of Operation POSTMASTER and the Special Operations Executive

• A numbered certificate of authenticity

• A commemorative challenge coin

• A map of Fernando Pó, the island at the centre of Operation POSTMASTER, reproduced on silk from an original Second World War parachute

Operation POSTMASTER took place in January 1942 when a small raiding force successfully removed three Axis vessels from the neutral harbour of Santa Isabel without firing a shot, leaving behind no diplomatic incident and little evidence of British involvement. The operation remains a classic example of careful planning, deception and disciplined execution.

Created in Northern Ireland by veteran-owned Black Alpha Irish Whiskey, this limited edition release honours the spirit of those who stepped forward when the outcome was uncertain.

Huge thanks to Woodrow’s of Edinburgh for donating these two bottles for the charity auction. This remarkable lot offers a fascinating, side-by-side tasting experiment curated by the expert independent bottlers at Woodrow’s of Edinburgh. You are bidding on an exclusive two-bottle set of Glentauchers Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Both bottles were drawn from the exact same Refill Oloroso Sherry Butt, but were bottled precisely one year apart—directly demonstrating on Woodrow's own labels how a single cask's flavour profile beautifully evolves over time.

​In a brilliant turn of environmental warehouse science, the natural microclimate caused water to evaporate from the cask faster than the ethanol. This actually drove the natural strength of the 17-year-old liquid up to a powerful 63.7% Vol. To allow for a perfectly fair, neck-and-neck flavour comparison between the two years, Woodrow's gently reduced the strength of the 17-year-old down to 63.2% Vol.

​The Ultimate Comparative Tasting Set

• ​Woodrow's Glentauchers 16-Year-Old (RRP £110): The pure, initial expression of the Refill Sherry Butt, showcasing honey cake, strawberries, and crisp orchard fruits.

• ​Woodrow's Glentauchers 17-Year-Old (RRP £110): The oxidized, deepened evolution of the exact same cask, boasting an intensified profile of rich caramel, milk chocolate, and warm, historic wood spice.

Bidding Note: This is an incredible educational piece and a rare collector's set that beautifully illustrates the mystery of whisky maturation. Place your maximum comfortable bid early to add this brilliant duo to your collection while supporting the Royal British Legion!
