About this bottle
The Lakes Founders Club Series No. 8 (or Year 8) is a limited-edition aged spirit release from The Lakes Distillery, available exclusively to members of their Founders' Club.
This expression is part of a 10-year series, with a new release provided annually to club members during the distillery's first decade of operation. As a limited and collectible item, it is primarily available on whisky auction sites and through specialist retailers, rather than general sale.
Lot Conditions
Bottles in this auction are never classed as brand new. Boxes, bottles and packaging may carry marks or creases due to age. Please inspect the photographs closely before bidding, and contact us for an in-depth condition report: if a report is not requested, lots are sold as seen.
Given the age of the bottles and seals, the condition of the liquid is at the buyer’s discretion. Bottles can be insured against breakage or loss, not leakage.
- A 12.5% + VAT buyer’s premium is added to the hammer price.
- Payment is due within three days of the auction ending. After that, a further 5% + VAT of the hammer price is added.
- Bids are binding. By bidding you accept the terms and conditions.
