Bruichladdich 1965 Cask Strength 15 Year Old / 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, exclusively for Mongiardino. He became the first Italian Bruichladdich distributor in the early 1980s, and imported their whisky for 5 years before selling the contract to Rinaldi.

Mongiardino bottled outside of the standard 10, 15 and 17 year old Bruichladdich, such as with this cask strength version of their standard expression.

This will have been one of Moon Import's first official Bruichladdich releases.

One of 1200.
