This is an extremely valuable old bottle that is said to have been served on board the British luxury liner Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2). It is strongly believed to contain single malt from Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, the holy land of malt whisky, and is highly regarded for its provenance and quality.
The bottle itself is a sleek black ceramic jug-shaped jug with the QE2 logo embossed in gold in the center. This substantial design symbolizes the elegant and prestigious atmosphere of a luxury cruise ship. Bottled at an unusually high alcohol content of 49% for Scotch whisky at the time, it retains its flavor and components even after long storage. In particular, this bottle weighs 1,572g, with an extremely low evaporation rate of less than 50g compared to the typical rate. This is proof that the cap was tightly sealed and indicates that the whisky inside is likely to retain its peak flavor.
This whisky is expected to have the complex flavors characteristic of Springbank. It combines the salty aroma of Campbeltown malt with a hint of earthy smoke, a fruity, rich malt sweetness, and the richness of aged vanilla and honey, typical of old bottles, for a very rich flavor. This QE2 bottle is not just an old whisky, but a historic collection that embodies the history of global sea voyage and the golden age of Springbank, a must-have for any whisky enthusiast.
As this is an old bottle, the liquid level and label may have changed over time. Please check the condition before purchasing.
