Strathisla 35 Year Old - Bicentenary 1786-1986

LOT ID: 146


End Date : Sep 04 2013 07:00 PM


LOT DESCRIPTION

Strathisla 35 Year Old. Produced for the bicentenary of the distillery 1786-1986. 75cl. 43%.

A phenomenal 35-year-old Strathisla bottled for the distillery’s 200th anniversary celebrations in 1986. Assembled from two ex-sherry puncheons laid down in 1947, this famous bottling has a justifiably exalted reputation among whisky fans entranced by its industrial levels of waxiness and delicious sherry-tinged leather and fruit flavours, with a hint of peat in the background.

Boasting remarkably concentrated flavours despite its 43% strength, Strathisla 35-year-old Bicentenary was sadly a very limited edition bottling - just 500 bottles were produced and many were opened or gifted to staff and VIPs during the Bicentenary celebrations, adding an extra layer of scarcity to this legendary whisky.

CONDITION

Good.

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.
