Balblair 1951

LOT ID: 631


End Date : Feb 05 2014 08:00 PM


LOT DESCRIPTION

1 bottle Balblair 1951. 24 years old at time of bottling. 80 proof. 26 2/3 fluid ounces. Level in neck. Excellent condition.  This was a privately owned cask that spent its entire life maturing at the Balblair Distillery. The vendor's father had been unaware that it was still in his posesion at the time of bottling hence it's long aging. It was bottled at 24 years of age in Elgin by Gordon & MacPhail using the distillery's licenced labelling of the time. The bottles were never sold publicly and were either consumed, handed out or sold privately within the family. A stunning rarity that should make for memorable drinking. This is one of the last bottles still owned by the family.  This bottle is from the same family owned batch at the one from the previous auction.

DISCLAIMER

Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, we do recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen and described.
Please note: due to the various ages of bottles, corks and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion. And no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.All bottles are checked by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.
No item is deemed new, however many items are generally in good condition. When this is not the case, we aim to mention any faults in the description. The images supplied are of the actual item you will receive. If the filling level of the liquid is not visible in the images provided, we aim to indicate the current position in the description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be found here.
All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to date the age of a bottle. If you are unhappy with the listing or believe there is an error/discrepancy, you should notify us immediately and we will address the Lot accordingly. Placing a bid confirms you have checked the Lot and are satisfied.
