Lot 790: Spirits. A. P. Hotaling & Cos Old Bourbon Whisky. Barron, Moxham & Co., Sydney. Kangaroo Trade Mark. Amber. 1 Quart. (New South Wales)

Very Good. (7.2). An extremely rare and sought after bottle in both Australia and the United States! A little water stain internally, this will soak out. Long bubble to inner lower neck towards the left, a small part of this is at the surface. 3 x 3 mm very shallow surface bruise to upper front neck.  Just to left of this is a fine 3 mm fracture which is probably an annealing mark. 3 mm pitted scratch to rear shoulder. 1.5 x 1.5 mm nibbled impact to mid rear. A few other tiny surface nicks and impacts. Slightly scuffed 45 mm scratch to mid rear, this is pretty much on the surface. Rear base edge has a fine fracture over about only 7 mm which goes under the base on a bit of an angle. Some very light surface haze in places. Superb embossing has only minor marks, tiny nibbled spot to the E of Sydney. A few light scratches and the odd minor scuff to be found. This is one of Australia's best bottles, don't miss this opportunity! Estimate: $7500-10000
