Bruichladdich 15 Year Old Cask Strength 1980s / Moon Import

Moon Import was founded by Pepi Mongiardino in 1980 and he bottled his first whisky in 1982. Always beautifully labelled, Pepi is acclaimed for designing the packaging for Moon Import bottles himself, often using images found in old books. These iconic designs, coupled with the quality of the liquid saw Moon Import steadily grow in popularity. The company is still going strong, and their early releases are some of the brightest gems in any whisky collection.

This was officially bottled for Mongiardino. He became the Bruichladdich distributor in the early 1980s, and imported their whisky for 5 years before selling the contract to Rinaldi.

In addition to the standard range, Mongiardino bottled outside of the standard 10, 15 and 17 year old Bruichladdich, which are well worth looking our for.
