About this bottle
A bottle of 1946 vintage Pride of Strathspey from an unnamed distillery and released by independent bottlers Gordon & Macphail. We estimate this bottle dates from the 1970s. Rumour has it that these undisclosed Pride of Strathspey malts were in fact Macallan, but this has never been confirmed.
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.
