Description

The new owner must already hold an account at Bruichladdich.


A wonderful chance to be the new owner of a 2005 Bruichladdich Fresh Bourbon Barrel held in bond at the distillery.  


Filled on 16/06/2005, this Barrel #539 has been maturing very nicely and was re-gauged on 19/04/2024. 


There are a few key facts and figures that have been listed below for your attention -



* New Bulk Litres - 132L | Strength 56.1% ABV | 74.6L of Alcohol.


If bottled at cask strength and at 70cl, this cask would approximately yield 188 bottles of 18-year-old Bruichladdich. 



Unofficial Tasting Notes


- Nose: Slightly briny, lemon zest/ oak, digestive biscuits. 

- Palate: Citrus peel, vanilla, pears and peat smoke throughout. 



* Transfer of the cask to the new buyer is subject to an admin fee, payable to Bruichladdich.

* All cask storage fees have been settled prior to this sale.

* For moving forward please ensure you are aware of the associated storage fees.

* All costs relating to removing the cask from bond, bottling, storage, re-gauging and moving in the future are the sole responsibility of the buyer. This includes VAT and any UK excise duty.

* Upon payment being transferred to The Grand Whisky Auction Ltd, then and only then will legal ownership of the cask be transferred to the new buyer. All funds are held by the company until the buyer is in receipt of the cask.

* Should the new owner be a UK revenue trader (business), registration with HMRC is required and they must hold a WOWGR certificate.

* A revenue trader outside the UK, will need a Duty Representative in the UK (Note: Annual charge will most likely apply)
