Shaw Liqueur Scotch and Irish Malt Whisky Vatting 11 Year Old 1920s / Low Fill

A very old blended Irish Whisky, aged for 11 years.

Interestingly the label not only states that this is an All Malt Irish Blend, but also a 'Finest Old Liqueur Scotch Whisky'.

This leads us to believe that this bottle dates from the early 1900s before any regulation had been put in place preventing any bottler calling their liquid Scotch Whisky.

S.J.S is marked on the top righthand corner of the label.
