P. 30
We start this page with four flasks. Loch Fyne Highlands blended scotch whisky
was imported into the USA by Greig, Lawrence & Hoyt, Limited. There is a State
of Maryland liquor excise tax stamp. The bottle measures 115mm (4.5") tall and
is empty. It sold for US$9.99. The Highland Queen dates from the 1930’s. It has
a lead seal and an intact tax stamp. US$16.36 bought it. The Scotch Shivers was
bottled especially for the Israeli market. It sold for a single bid of US$9.99. Finally
we have the first of our John Begg Blue Cap Scotches. Like the Highland Queen
this is from the 1930’s and has a lead seal and intact tax stamp. US$15.19
bought it.
Other than that it is clearly rather old, and that it sold for US$20, I
can’t tell you anything about the Beggs Liqueur Scotch.
The seller
provided us weith
photos of three
sides of the King
Henry VIII
Scotch. This was
distilled in
Scotland but
graduated and
bottled in
Argentina. It
contains 50cc
and is approx.
90mm (3.5”) High.
Another US import from the 1930’s is this Haig & Haig clip top
bottle. Bidding was brisk and finished at US$32.56.
