A stunning and very rare 19 year old Glenlivet Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the very early Half Moon inaugural collection series, which was matured for 18 years in a sherry cask and was probably bottled in the year 1982 at cask strength 55.0% vol. from the legendary Italian whisky importer Moon Import and Pepi Mongiardino in an edition of only 600 individually numbered bottles.
Pepi Mongiardino bottled his first whisky after the death of the great Silvano Samaroli in the early 1980s, at the time under the title Half Moon. The first bottles of Moon Import still had simply designed labels, later Pepi designed the labels with pictures from historical books. The famous series with the birds, animals, costumes and the sea got their labels from pictures he discovered in an 18th century German encyclopaedia. These iconic designs, combined with the quality of the bottled whisky, have made Moon Import s popularity grow steadily.
A wonderful old style Glenlivet Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky and special highlight of whisky history with a dark mahogany colour from the legendary Moon Collection and early bottling by Pepi Mongiardino in extraordinary quality and absolute rarity for connoisseurs, the discerning whisky collector and lovers of exclusive old Scotch Whiskies!
