Caperdonich 16 Year Old Sailing Ships Series - Benan 1875 5cl

A miniature bottle of Caperdonich 16 Year Old, matured in a single cask, and bottled by Signatory Vintage for their Sailing Ships series.

This entry in the series remembers the Benan iron ship that was launched by Barclay, Curle & Co. in 1875. Its legacy was cut short in 1888 as it was discovered shipwrecked at Cloate's Point, Australia.

This is bottle number of 247 of 1200.

This lot comes from the extensive collection of a Merseyside collector who began his hobby with bottles bought for guests as digestifs at private dinner parties in the early 1970s. His interest led to him advertising in the UK national newspapers, and buying and selling bottles as far afield as Australia, America and Ireland, with his last significant addition being a collection he purchased from Stoke On Trent in 1984.
