LOT DESCRIPTION

1 bottle White Horse bottled 1916. No box. Royal Warrant to His Majesty the King. Mackie & Coy Distillers Ltd. Lagavulin Distillery Island Of Islay and Glenlivet District. Driven cork with branded lead foil capsule. Typical early 20th century moulded glass with natural inclusions and defects. No strength or capacity mentioned. Level mid-upper shoulder. Extensive ageing and wear to label typical of such an old bottle. Rear label almost totally missing with only fragments remnant. The whisky inside remains clear with natural sediment and no signs of separation or cloudiness. A remarkable and beautiful bottle. One of the oldest examples of White Horse to ever come up for auction. During this era of bottling the malt content in this bottle would have been very high, including a very large proportion of Lagavulin. BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE. This is an exceptionally old bottle and the cork has aged and shows visible signs of shrinkage. While every effort will be made to ship this bottle with the greatest possible level of care and protection we cannot guarantee it will not leak in transit and we therefore reccommend direct collection of this lot if possible. Please bear this in mind when bidding.

DISCLAIMER

Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, this is not comprehensive and is based on a brief overview. Most items will be described as good or fair, this does not mean it will not exhibit wear or tear. 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.

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 any circumstance. All bottles are checked for authenticity 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 and may exhibit wear or tear, however many items are generally in good condition. If an item has notable faults, we will make every effort to mention these 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 on this page.

All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to provide a condition report or date the age of a bottle. If you are unhappy with the listing or believe there is an error/discrepancy, you should not place a bid and notify us immediately and we will address the Lot accordingly.
