LOT DESCRIPTION

Bruichladdich 1970 - 2006. 35 Year Old. 125th Anniversary Edition. One of 2502 bottles. Matured in Bourbon casks and finished in Zing Humbrecht Pinot Gris casks. 70cl. 40.1%. A very special 1970 Bruichladdich bottled for the distillery’s 125th Anniversary in 2006. Master Distiller Jim McEwan selected a small parcel of casks of the distillery’s classic 1970 vintage that had been maturing in ex-bourbon wood for 35 years and gave them a short finishing period - known at Bruichladdich as Additional Cask Evolution - in very special casks that had previously held the fabulous Clos Jesbal Pinot Gris Selection de Grains Noble from Malt Maniac Olivier Humbrecht’s world famous Zind-Humbrecht estate in Alsace. Bruichladdich’s wine finishes can be a little hit and miss to say the least, but this is one of the most gloriously successful ones, and remains hugely popular with fans. The resulting whisky was a small batch of 2502 bottles and was released at its natural cask strength of 49.2% without colouring or chill filtration in a very smart wooden box befitting the occasion.

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.
