Bowmore - 1979 Bicentenary

Bowmore 1979 Bicentenary for sale

Lost box and certificate about 10 years ago.

Dad bought it in early 80's

Part of the wax that cover the cork has come off, and cork is a little soft.

But no air has got through to the whisky - fluid level is as should be in bottle.

Ideal for the drinkers amongst you!

exactly like this - but without certicate or box

I think you may find it difficult to get much at all for this given its condition but it may help if you posted detailed photos.

A bottle similar to this was for sale in mctears yestarday!

No box or certificate but the seal was fully intact!

May be worth while trying to see how much it sold for!

I see they sold 2 bottles of the Bowmore 1979 Bicentenary at McTears on the 25 January one went for £480 and the other for £500, bottles looked in good condition but not sure they came with the original box but would assume so for that price at an auction.

Here is one here:

Did you pick up anything good at the auction yourself JAB, i forgot all about it. I usually like to have browse through the catalog even if i am not buying.

They only had 2 of the bowmore 1979 Bicentenary, and lot 699 with no box ssold for the £480 mark! was really suprised at this thought it might of been half this!

No Keith i didnt pick anything up! thought the sale was the worst one yet! very poor grouping of bottles and a poor selection over all!

The few i might of bought went for silly prices one being the 1979 Bicentenary no box bottle.

But there where deals to be had like 2 ardbegs selling for £90 and are worth £100 each.
But didnt know this untill today when i checked some prices as i was only logging on and off for the bottles that took my fancey!
