Blended Scotch Whisky

A very old bottle of Teacher's.

A springcapped 12 yo version of Haig & Haig, in the famous Dimple bottle. Bottled in 1944 towards the end of WWII.

A marvellous old 1940s bottle of historic Scotch brand Haig, sealed with a springcap.

An old bottle of Black & White blended whisky. Bottled just after the passing of King George VI. While we cannot tell an exact date, we know that this was definitely bottled sometime in the 1950s.

A very, very old bottle of Berry Bros's St. James's blended Scotch (no sign of Rudd on this label). Please note that as in the photo this bottle has quite a low level below the shoulder.

A lovely old 1960s bottle of famous defunct blended whisky Sandy Macdonald's.

A very old bottle of BL blended scotch whisky. We reckon that this is from the 1960s.

A lovely old bottle of White Horse bottled over fifty years ago. We've tried a bottle of this from 1958 and believe you me, it is STUNNING. Very delicate, elegant structure (as you often get from a bottle this old); very powerful flavour (and quite peaty, given the links with Lagavulin).

A very old bottle of the Longmorn-heavy Queen Anne blend - we believe this to have been bottled in the 1960s.

A Berry Brothers Blended Scotch whisky from around the middle of the last century - please note that these bottles have heavily damaged labels as you can see from the picture.

A litre bottle of Black & White blended scotch whisky closed with a springcap that we think was released in the 1960s.

A full US gallon of Chivas Regal's ever popular 12 year old blended Scotch whisky, bottled in the 1980s.

An old bottle of Grant's 12 year old 'Best Procurable' blended whisky. This was bottled in the 1950s, a time when 12 year old whisky was towards the top end of the generally available aged spirit.

Anold bottle of White Horse blended whisky, dated on the label as being from 1955.

A great looking bottle of White Horse's blended Scotch whisky from the 1950s - 1957, to be exact, as it says on the label. Please note that the level of liquid in this bottle is below the neck as pictured.

A 500th Anniversary

Another 'single blend' from Adelphi, a single cask bottling of Lochside that is made up of both grain and malt whisky from 1965, distilled at the distillery and filled into the cask together. A big hit at The Whisky Show 2012.

An interesting single cask whisky bottled at cask strength in 2011 by The Whisky Exchange. Lochside produced both grain and malt whisky from its opening in 1957 until the early 1970s and this is a 'single blend' using only whisky from the distillery. Unusually, the whisky was blended before ageing, with the mix of grain and malt maturing in the same cask for 46 years. A very rare style from this now closed distillery.
