Crawfords 5 Star - 1950s
Crawford's Five Star. Bottled 1950s. Branded foil seal with spring cap. No capacity stated although equal to 75cl. 70 Proof.
The whisky merchant and blender A&A Crawford was formed in Edinburgh in 1860 by brothers Aikman and Archibald Crawford. Crawford’s famous 3-Star Blend was introduced towards the end of the century, by which time both brothers had passed on. Crawford’s 5-Star De Luxe blend was launched in the 1920s, and the business became a limited company in 1942 before being acquired by Diageo forerunner Distillers Company Limited (DCL) in 1944.
Crawford’s was a popular blend in Scotland at the time of the takeover, and the company was later made licence-holder for DCL’s Benrinnes distillery. In 1986 United Distillers sold the UK distribution rights for Crawford’s, Buchanan’s and Haig to rivals Whyte & Mackay and consequently these brands are very rarely seen in the UK nowadays, but Crawford’s survives as an export brand and is popular in the USA.
