Lot #89: Balvenie - 42 Year Old - Tale of the Dog

The Tale of the Dog is described as a smooth and honeyed expression, with delicate sweet dates, vanilla, toffee flavors, roasted nuts, spice, and a luscious oak finish. The label proudly displays a replica of the “copper dog,” an homage to a bygone era when distillery workers would sneak a sip or two of whisky using these small tubes when the bosses weren’t looking. When found, these copper tubes were destroyed, serving as a cautionary tale to potential tipple thieves.

This tribute bottle was crafted in honor of coppersmith Dennis McBain, who resurrected the simple copper tubes for whisky tastings with guests, offering a more manageable and refined alternative to the bulky valinch traditionally used for drawing whisky straight from the cask. To this day, these “copper dogs” are a special part of the whisky-tasting experience.

Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of this unique history with our tribute bottle at our upcoming spirits auction on May 9th at 3 PM ET.

Ripe, red cherry emanates from the glass, layered with violets and that classic cool-climate stony minerality. The palate is zippy and bright, integrating that signature acidity with velvety tannins and a long, lingering finish.

The Piper Rare is a rich and decadent wine for the vintage, more so than most – full of honeysuckle and graham cracker, loaded with butter and toasty brioche. Citrus and ginger lurk in the background, along with that classic 2008 vintage backbone and signature salinity.

The Piper Rare Cuvee is made only in the most exceptional vintages, and 2008 was no exception. Blended from 8 crus and aged for nearly a decade in the house cellars, it is packed with more fruit and richness than you’d expect from this vintage at the moment. This is a knock your socks off vintage champagne at an incredible value.
