very low shoulder, cork depressed but still tight, excellent label and necklet. Should be ok for UK (only) travel.
Not very good condition, but at 185 Pounds......still really risky.

With that much ullage it would be a big risk; > 50% of being faulty, for 45%ish price - not sure it's worth it.

That sort of condition really knocks back the value of the bottle. In the last three years at auction, I've seen a Sandeman '35 with that level sell for just £25+ BP and a Warre '47 sell for £30 + BP

I'm a bit surprised at PW offering that bottle - most merchants would send it back to a saleroom - or drink it..
