    - Eight sterling silver Hamilton & Inches drinking cups

    - A bespoke oak and sterling silver Omas pen, complete with detailed Ardbeg engraving

    - Two hand-stitched leather-bound books – a ‘Sampling Register’ with full tasting notes of the 1974 cask bottlings and ‘Double Barrel’, a quirky miscellany of Ardbeg single malt and shooting traditions
