Lockes Liqueur Irish Whiskey - Brusna Distillery - Late 1950s

LOT ID: 748


End Date : Dec 03 2014 08:00 PM


LOT DESCRIPTION

1 bottle Locke's Liqueur Irish Whiskey. Distilled at Brusna Distillery established 1757 'Makers of famous Whiskey for 200 years'. Bottled late 1950s. Stopper cork and plain gold foil wrapper capsule. No box. No capacity stated but bottle is standard size. Level base of neck. Wear to label appropriate to age. Whiskey remains clear and should be perfectly drinkable.  Brusna distillery was the original name of the Kilbeggan distillery until it ceased production in 1957 whereupon it lay silent until recommencing distilling in 2007. This bottle comes from a vendor in Northern Ireland who inherited it from her father who recived it as a gift in the 1950s. Given the bicentenial statement on the lower lable it would follow that this whisky was bottled sometime shortly after the closure of the distillery in 1957. Another beautiful old piece of liquid Irish distiling history.

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.
