Duffs Liqueur Scotch Whisky - Circa 1930

1 bottle Duffs 3 Star Liqueur Scotch Whisky. Special Liqueur Cream. (The Finest Scotch Whisky Thoroughly Matured) Macleay Duff & Co, Glasgow. Bottled circa 1930. Driven cork with branded foil seal. No box. No capacity stated although equal to 75cl. 30 Degrees Underproof. Level top shoulder. Some wear to label but generally good condition for age. We collected this bottle from the vendor’s house in Kirkintilloch – northeast of central Glasgow. If you’re thinking you have seen this label before, you’re right. It is pretty much identical to a ‘Black Bottle’ we auctioned in 2017. When we uplifted this, there was an old hanging tag around the neck of the bottle where the vendor’s Grandfather had written the following note… ”Given to my grandfather First World War 1914-1918 DO NOT OPEN” Although we would love this to be a First World War whisky, we’d be more comfortable indicating c.1930. Nevertheless, this is a beautiful looking old bottle and I can only imagine the whisky would be a memorable one.

Good.
