Every month brings its own thrill at Aged in Oak — but November’s auction? It’s a showstopper. This week’s lineup showcases over 200+ bottles spanning luxury Scotch, limited-edition American whiskey, and one-of-a-kind collector pieces that rarely surface outside private vaults. Whether you're a seasoned bidder or stepping into the secondary scene for the first time, this auction is stacked with opportunities to level up your collection.

And front and center in this month’s spotlight: a lineup of Macallan heavy-hitters, cult-favorite Scotch selections, and a vintage cast-iron train decanter set that’s guaranteed to light up collectors’ groups.

Macallan Takes the Lead: Statement Bottles with Prestige

If there’s one distillery that consistently owns the room, it’s Macallan. This month features a striking lineup of their most sought-after releases — expressions that combine deep flavor pedigree with undeniable display presence.

Macallan Edition Series

These bottles aren’t just whisky — they’re history in liquid form. Each Edition release tells a different story, crafted with a unique cask philosophy and impossibly layered flavor profile. The full spread rarely appears together, making this batch an enormous win for collectors chasing completion.

Macallan Rare Cask

Always the star of any shelf. Produced in limited quantities from some of Macallan’s most exceptional European sherry casks, Rare Cask is known for its richness, its deep mahogany color, and (let’s be honest) its ability to make every bar cart feel instantly more impressive.

Macallan Ruby

Part of the now-retired 1824 series, Ruby is prized for its color-driven approach and for aging exclusively in sherry-seasoned casks. It’s one of those bottles that becomes harder to replace each year — which also makes it one to watch as bids climb.

The Scotch Standouts: Smoke, Power & Luxury

This month’s auction goes beyond Macallan with some truly compelling selections for the smoke-chasing, peat-loving crowd.

Glenkinchie 20 Year (Distiller’s Edition)

Known as the “Edinburgh Malt,” Glenkinchie brings refinement, floral sweetness, and long-aging elegance. The 20-year edition is a treat for anyone who wants a silky, well-matured Scotch that still carries its Lowland character.

Octomore 10.1

Peat lovers — this is your bottle. Octomore is famous for pushing boundaries, and the 10.1 doesn’t disappoint. With massive phenol levels and surprising balance, it’s the kind of bottle that collectors snap up instantly because it simply doesn’t sit on shelves.

Four Roses Super Premium (Japan Release)

A unicorn in the American whiskey world, only released overseas. Intricate, smooth, and stunning in presentation — this bottle has become a grail for Four Roses fans, and it never lasts long at auction.

A Collector’s Dream: Vintage Cast-Iron Train Decanter Set

Every now and then, a piece shows up that hits a different part of the collector brain — and this cast-iron 1872 train and matching coal car decanter set is that piece. Charming, hefty, detailed, and nostalgic, it’s the kind of display item that makes people stop in their tracks.

Whether you're into whiskey history, Americana, or you just appreciate a standout conversation piece, this one is a treasure worth chasing.

200+ Bottles. Hundreds of Opportunities. One Incredible Week.

This auction is packed — Macallan rarities, Japanese-exclusive bottlings, long-aged Scotch, high-proof monsters, vintage decanters, and more than two hundred total bottles waiting for their next home.
