MA/Lic. #2304

Welcome to our inaugural auction of Fine Ales & Spirits—Online

The overwhelmingly positive response to our previous offerings of ales and the recent surge in collectors

demanding fine and rare spirits have combined to produce the following 111 lots of grain-based libations.

Ales appear first, Lots 1-86, followed by 26 lots of Spirits. We hope you enjoy perusing the lots on offer,

please contact us with any questions.

Provenance:

Lots 1-49 hail from a single cellar. The consignor purchased all of these bottles personally at retailers beginning in 2000 and

stored them in custom-built, temperature-controlled home storage. Included are some incredible selections, including the

first two vintages of Samuel Adams Utopias, one of the first vintages of New Belgium’s La Folie, aged bottles of the famed

Westvleteren, and early Dogfish Head bottles. Bottles tasted from the cellar have shown wonderfully.

Lots 50-60 feature a selection of ales from a consignor well-known to Skinner, removed from a temperature-controlled cellar.

Additionally, the consignor is offering three lots of outstanding American whiskey: Pappy Van Winkle 23, Black Maple Hill 18, and

the exceedingly rare Willett 17 “Bonili Pick.”

Lots 61-72 contain some of the most highly sought after lambics in existence: Cantillon’s Loerik, Don Quijote, and Blåbær, plus

outstanding American ales like the Samuel Adams Millennium, Midnight Sun M, and Three Floyds Dark Lord. Removed from

professional, temperature-controlled storage prior to auction.

Lots 73-77 are from another friend of Skinner, featuring rare Belgian ales from an outstanding cellar.

Lots 78-84 features American all-stars: aged examples of Founders KBS, Goose Island’s King Henry (a barleywine-style ale

aged in third-use Pappy Van Winkle 23 barrels) and barrel aged selections from Firestone Walker. They join lots 88, 90, 103,

and 104—two lots of Van Winkle bourbon and two Scotches from shuttered distilleries—to complete this consignment from a

gentleman well-known to Skinner who hand-selected these lots from temperature-controlled storage for this auction.

Lots 85-87, two rare lambics and a complete set of Van Winkle bourbons, come from another consignor well-known to Skinner

who is meticulous in their collecting.

Lots 88A and 90A are from another long-time friend of Skinner, two Van Winkle bourbons ripe for the picking.

Lot 89 represents the rare opportunity to compare four consecutive releases of Pappy Van Winkle 15-year Bourbon. Which one

is best? We’ll let you decide. Purchased from reputable retailers upon release, this lot offers just a glimpse into this collector’s

extensive collection of bourbon.

Lots 94-96, 98-102, and 105-109 represent some cellar-trimming from a well-traveled, long-time friend of Skinner. Removed

from a custom-built, temperature-controlled home cellar, bid with confidence on these great whiskies.

Lot 97, 1978 Ardbeg. A singular whisky from an important cellar. Removed from climate control for this auction.

Issues with Regard to Transportation

All bidders should make themselves aware of the limitations and restrictions imposed by various states with regard to the importation of alcoholic

beverages which have been purchased at auction and transported into any states jurisdiction. All buyers have the sole responsibility to research,

understand and comply with all permit or license requirements before collection or transport of purchases occurs. Neither Skinner Inc. nor

Lower Falls Wine Co. is responsible for obtaining any permits or licenses on behalf of any bidder. Lower Falls Wine will facilitate, where able, in

the making of arrangements for the buyer on their behalf. Bidders are strongly urged to understand the individual state statutes with regard to

importation prior to participation in any auction to insure compliance with said statutes.

1. All bidders and buyers of wine must be at least 21 years of age and shall present satisfying legal documentation of this at auction. In the event the buyer is a partnership or corporate entity, the receiver of the wine shall furnish proof fulfilling this criteria.

2. Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Skinner, Inc., below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. A representative of Skinner, Inc. will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. In any event, and whether or not a lot is subject to a reserve, Skinner, Inc. and Lower Falls Wine Co. may reject any bid or raise not commensurate with the value of such lot.

3. All property is sold “as is,” and neither Skinner, Inc. and Lower Falls Wine Co. nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation or any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, or description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice, or in the catalog, or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability. Prospective buyers are urged to inspect those lots they have interest in.

In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot for sale. The auctioneer shall have sole discretion to refuse any bid, or refuse to acknowledge any bidder. Please note Massachusetts state law requires all purchasers of alcoholic beverages be at least 21 years of age. Any bidder that plans on spending in excess of $100,000 should make arrangements with the accounting department at least five (5) days in advance of the sale, as a deposit may be required to participate.

6. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, good check, or wire transfers, payable in U.S. dollars. Checks will be acceptable only if credit has been established with Skinner or if a bank authorization has been received guaranteeing the check.

8. In no event will the liability of Skinner, Inc. and Lower Falls Wine Co. to any purchaser with respect to any item exceed the purchase price actually paid by such purchaser for such item.

9. Lower Falls Wine Co. may, in their discretion and at purchaser’s request, package and arrange for delivery as directed by the purchaser. In such event, purchaser agrees that (a) all such packaging, handling and delivery is at the sole risk of the purchaser and that Skinner, Inc. and Lower Falls Wine Co. shall have no liability for any loss or damage to such items, and (b) purchaser shall pay in advance, all packaging expenses, including labor, materials, carriers fees and all insurance charges.
