Wine Cellar

Few winemakers command the reverence afforded to Dermot Sugrue—an Irish-born visionary whose name now echoes through the cellars of critics, collectors and, indeed, King Charles III himself. Often described as the finest winemaker in England, Sugrue has carved out a place at the pinnacle of modern sparkling wine through relentless craft, intellectual rigor and an unwavering belief in the land beneath his feet.

The Glenlivet has once again stepped into the rarefied air of ultra-aged Scotch, unveiling a 56-year-old expression that stands as the second chapter of its Eternal Collection. Emerging in the glow of last month’s Distillers One of One auction where the 60-year-old Spira shattered expectations at £650,000, the new release arrives with quiet confidence, rooted in heritage yet elevated through contemporary artistry.

In the rarefied world where fashion, flavour and fine craftsmanship intersect, a new era of collectible whisky is emerging, one where creativity is as essential as age and provenance. Leading this movement is Johnnie Walker’s couture collaboration with designer Olivier Rousteing, a partnership that elevates whisky-making into an art form of sensory storytelling.

With the unveiling of new prestige cuvées and the construction of a state-of-the-art winery, Champagne Barons de Rothschild is charting a bold course to match its storied legacy in Bordeaux and beyond.
