Belmont 18 Year Old Kentucky Bourbon
Pre-Prohibition 1930s Bottling (4/5 Quart)
Lot #0680204
FINISH DATE
31 July 2019
Historic bottling from the Belmont Distillery, Kentucky. Built in 1881, Belmont was closed after Prohibition was enforced in 1919. In 1933 it was purchased along with Bernheim, demolished, and all distilling operations moved to the current Bernheim Distillery that has produced Old Fitzgerald and I.W. Harper among other brands over the years. As such, this is an incredibly rare chance to try aged pre-Prohibition Bourbon from a legendary distillery.
'This whiskey was mashed in little tubs, and distilled on the old fashioned hand made sour mash plan....reduced with distilled water.'
Bourbon
Bourbon is a distinctly American whiskey, traditionally made primarily from corn (at least 51%) and aged in new charred oak barrels. Known for its rich, sweet, and full-bodied flavour, it often carries notes of caramel, vanilla, and spice. By law, bourbon must be produced in the United States, though it is most famously associated with Kentucky, its historic heartland.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I bid on the auctions?
You’ll need an account with us to place bids in any auction. Registration takes 60 seconds and there’s a small £5.00 registration fee, payable by credit or debit card. Once paid, you will be registered and can place bids in the auction immediately. The registration fee helps us ensure you’re a real person and a genuine bidder.
Why does the timer extend on a lot?
In the interest of fairness, any bids placed in the final five minutes of a particular lot will extend the end time of that Lot by 15 minutes. We believe in giving our customers a fair amount of time to increase their bid should they wish. Last second sniping isn’t in the spirit of our auctions and by using this system there is no benefit to doing so.
