product Details

Lion's Vat 1937-1989 Charity Bottling / 1 of only 40

Since 2008, whisky collector and connoisseur, Diego Sandrin, poured a small measure of every bottle he had ever opened and sampled into two small oak casks, until both were full. The contents of the casks were there transferred into two more. Both of these new barrels he had used to first to age Venetian wine (one Raboso and one Fragolino) and then used to experimentally re-cask and finish Laphroaig 10 year old cask strength. These casks were left for another 5 years before bottling for charity.

Thsi unique vatting contains over 500 different whiskies, including both of Whiskybase.com's joint top rated drams, the Samaroli 1967 Laphroaig and 1966 Bowmore Bouquet. See lot photos for the full mouth-watering breakdown.

One of only 40 bottles, all proceeds from the sale of this bottle, including commission, will be donated to two local Italian sports programs helping keep children off the streets and playing sports!

Bottle number 18.
