LOT DESCRIPTION

1 bottle Bowmore 1955 - 1974. Bottled for the opening of the visitor center in 1974. Ceramic half bottle with moulded plastic composite seal over ceramic stopper. In original presentation box with original bookletts inside and handle tag. Bottle number 64. No statements of strength or capacity. Level is audibly exceptionally high almost at the base of the stopper itself. This is a legendary bottling and regarded as one of the finest Bowmores ever bottled. It was largley given to staff upon release, the majoity of whom drank it as they were walking out of the distillery gates. This vendor of this bottle was gifted it for their work on the construction and design of the Visitor Center in the early 1970s leading up to the opening in 1974. I have had the privilege to see several examples of this bottle in my time. However this is by far the best conditon one I have ever seen. Apart from some slight natural wear to the box itself it remains in exceptional condition.

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.
