1948: Dunvilles Three Crowns Whisky full bottles
Dunvilles Three Crowns Whisky was distilled in Belfast from the 1870s
until its demise in the 1930s. Good examples of this whiskey are
extremely scarce. These examples were left in a “stack N” bonding
warehouse in Belfast from the 1940s until their rediscovery a decade
ago. This consigment was tested by whiskey expert Jim Murray who
described it as “Beautiful, very intact”. A unique opportunity to taste a
piece of Irish distilling history.
This lot comprises 6 full bottles in one of the original wooden cases they
were found in.
