2025 - The Third Edition
THE DISTILLERS ONE OF ONE AUCTION
The Worshipful Company of Distillers and The Distillers’ Charity are holding its third The Distillers One of One Auction on Friday 10th October 2025. Hosted at resplendent Hopetoun House, widely considered to be one of Scotland’s finest stately homes, this is an unmissable showcase of rare and remarkable Scotch Whisky.
In partnership with Sotheby’s, the auction brings together an unparalleled collection of one-off, never-to-be-repeated Scotch whiskies from producers across Scotland. Held biennially, the previous 2021 and 2023 auctions, have together raised £4.3M / $5.25M for charity.
The Age of Change
From outlawed to legendary.
The 'Age of Change', donated to the Distillers' One of One auction, marks 202 years since the 1823 Excise Act - the law that shaped Scotch whisky. Each bottle offers a powerful glimpse into the whisky world before and after this landmark legislation. Three exemplary Rare Find whiskies. One legacy forever changed.
Miltonduff 1981 43 year old
The previously illegal small distillery ‘Milton’ became Miltonduff after the Duff family acquired the area and a new, legal distillery was built. It obtained its license to distil in 1824 – the year after the introduction of the Excise Act.
This venerable example of Miltonduff retains the distillery’s trademark succulent texture and offers vibrancy combined with incredible depth and complexity.
Littlemill 1990 34 year old
This legendary, now lost distillery was based in Bowling, West Dumbartonshire. Littlemill’s association with the 1823 Excise Act comes via Jane Macgregor – the first licensee after the act’s passage who is also believed to be one of the earliest women in Scotland to hold a distilling licence.
The Age of Change 34 year old offers the perfect balance of liveliness and antiquary – with a combination of dusty earthiness and polish alongside vivacious sweet fruits.
Springbank 1992 32 year old
Campbeltown would become the centre of Scotland’s whisky industry after the passage of the 1823 Excise Act – and no distillery encapsulates that history today more than Springbank. Founded 5 years after the passage of the act, Springbank has a truly dedicated following among whisky enthusiasts, who appreciate its unique, highly traditional production methods.
This 32 year old Springbank offers the archetypal profile of the distillery’s excellent make – full-bodied, vivid and profoundly characterful.
One-of-One: Where Legacy meets craftmanship
This unique creation is a celebration of vital influence of wood in the maturation process of Scotch whisky. Hand-crafted by Jo Downs and commissioned by Gleann Mor for the Distillers One of One auction, it captures the essence of tradition and craftsmanship.
The bottles are elegantly housed in a bespoke oak stave casing, meticulously designed and constructed by Jonny Kane of Gopherwood.
Forged from Heritage, defined by craft
The Age of Change showcases three unique single cask releases from some of Scotland’s most iconic distilleries. Together, they represent 109 years of Scotch whisky legacy - elevated by masterful glasswork, intricate woodcraft, and striking design.
The Youth Action Fund
The Distillers’ Charity’s original purpose and aims, as with those of many Livery companies, lie in developing talent and knowledge in young people, focused on education and vocational training in the distilling industry.
The Youth Action Fund is supported by the proceeds of the Distillers One of One Auction Series, to transform the life chances of young people in Scotland aged between 16 and 25. The Fund’s portfolio of charities and impact monitoring is managed by Inspiring Scotland.
