Need to identify vintage whisky

by **lesingeblanc** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 9:52 pm

I recently came across what I am told is a very old bottle of scotch whisky.
I am not a collector at all, I am simply curious as to whether it is worth anything whatsoever.

The person I received it from told me it was a 12 year blend back in the 1940's, but I cannot find any information on the company that blenmded and bottled it.

It is... Stuart Macgregor's Loch Lomond. Licqueur Blended Scotch Whisky.

Blended and Bottled by Stuart Macgregor & Co.
Glasgow, Scotland.

I also have a U.S. Internal Revenue Tax Paid label across the cap, don't know if the numbers from that would help, as I said, I know next to nothing of how to go about finding out just how old this is or if it is worth anything at all, I can take pictures of the bottle if that would help as well,
anyone who can lend any information, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time!

Could you please tell me what is the size of the bottle as indicated on the label and its strength?
Thank you

There was some website that gave lots of information about tax stamps and how they can be used to a certain degree to date bottles. I can't find it now, though.

I know, I read about this tax stamp site as well and could not find it

It is 4/5 Quart, 86 Proof.

The 4/5ths dates it. I dont' know when they stopped these measurements, but they certainly used them in the 1940s.
