LOT DESCRIPTION

Laphroaig 14 Year Old. US Carlton import rotation 1953. No box. Early short screw capsule with branded lead foil wrapper. 4/5 US quarts. 91.4 US proof (equivalent to 45.7% abv). Level base of shoulder. Excellent condition for age. This bottle came from a vendor in the USA who discovered a full sealed case in the crawl space of their grandfather's attick. It is a remarkable piece of Islay whisky history and one of the oldest bottles of Laphroaig to come to the open market in a very long time. Although the level has suffered some evaporation the liquid remains perfectly clear so there is a strong chance - given the more robust bottling strength - that it would present itself well in the glass. An incredible find and a truly historic bottle that offers the buyer the amazing opportunity to taste 1930s Laphroaig. This is one of the 10 remaining bottles from the original wooden case, all of which - including the case itself - are offered for sale here in this auction. After this sale there will be no further opportunities to acquire these bottles.

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.
