Islay Trilogy 1969
Lot number: 018449
Winning bid: £175
From Murray McDavid's Mission range. A vatting of casks from three Islay distilleries: Bunnahabhain 1968 in Fresh Sherry; Bowmore 1969 in Bourbon and Bruichladdich 1966 in Bourbon. There seems to be some controversy over the actual age statement on this - it is listed as a 36 year-old, but there are claims that the casks were bottled in 2002/3 meaning it could only be a 34 year-old. It also only lists 1969 on the label for some reason.
Whatever. It's 700ml, 40.3% and bottle no 587 of 1200
