Canadian Club 1931

This very rare bottle of Canadian Club Whisky is date stamped 1931, during the U.S. prohibition period (1920 - 1933) when contraband whisky, mostly from Canada was smuggled into the USA. It is often rumoured that Hiram Walker & Sons, the owners of Canadian Club & whose name appears prominently on this label, came to prominance as a global spirits company through whisky running into the USA. 

The embossed neck capsule is covered by the original & unbroken government seal (strip stamp) personally numbered 01397 & dated 1931. The bottle shows no ABV strength or volume because it predates that legislation. The label shows 3 UK Royal Warrents to HM King George V (the reigning monarch) HM King Edward V11 1901 - 1910, HM Queen Victoria 1898 - 1901.

Ladyburn 8 Year Old

The Ladyburn Distillery was built in 1966 by William Grant & Sons Ltd and only operated for a very short period until November 15th 1975.  

There have been very few bottlings from Ladyburn, this official 8 year old was released during the 1990s, well after the closure - there is some debate as to the origin of this whisky , as it is a 'Pure Malt'.  It seems to be widely accepted as a single malt from this lost distillery rather than a blended malt carrying the distilleries name.
