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.
