Johnnie Walker The Directors Blend 2013

Only given to very important Diageo types meaning this was never available at retail. Very few bottles have made it to the secondary market and collectors have fought to get hold of this essential part of Walker history.

There were six bottles in the Director's blend range, this is the final bottle, designed by Claessens, a simple yet elegant and effective design.

In the flavour department the blend is focused on age and succeeds in creating deep rich character, causing whisky expert Dave Broom to claim that it was one of the best whiskies of 2013.

Bottle number 570 of 588.

John Jameson and Son 15 Year Old 1950s

An old bottle of 15 year old Jameson Irish whisky bottled by O. Trainor & Co Ltd. of 9 D'Olier Street, Dublin.

We estimate this bottle to be from the 1950s.
