CONDITION

LOT DESCRIPTION

1 bottle Caol Ila 1983 - 2003. 20 Year Old. Scotch Malt Whisky Society 53.62. One of 282. No box. 70cl. 58.1% 101.6 Proof. Level in neck. Some marks to label, otherwise good condition. From the archives. "Wooden Hospitals. The still-house, built in 1972, has a wall of glass facing the sound of Islay and looking towards the mighty Paps of Jura - an inspiration to the stillman. Bright, sunshiny yellow. The first nose is well-balanced with fruity sweetness along with expected coal-tar soap and delicate peat-smoke. It tastes good neat, with iodine and peat to begin, followed by a dry woodiness that betrays its age. Reduced, the nose has a definite hospital character, along with a citric note. The taste at drinking strength has surprisingly light body, a delicate smoke, with a very dry finish, like chewing green twigs. An expensive peaty aperitif?" Original price was £54 in 2003.

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.
