Robert Brown Specially Selected Very Old Scotch Whisky - Same as supplied to H.R.H. The Prince of Wales. An amazing whisky and an amazing story. The SS Wallachia, a huge steamship, sank in the Firth of Clyde in September 1895, after having been rammed in the bows by a Norwegian steamer. She had been quietly lying under 34 metres of water since then but sport divers rediscovered her and brought several bottles of this whisky back to the open air.
We are indebted to our friends at http://www.whiskyfun.com for that information.
This bottle still appears to have its seal intact and the liquid inside is clear and bright. It was "rescued" from the wreck by a Glasgow diver in 1981. He now feels it is time someone else got to enjoy the experience. He is happy to prepare a letter of authenticity, saying when he dived and where he got the bottle.
Included in the sale are two drawings of the Wallachia's sister ship, which was identicial.
