Can you post better/closer photo's of the main label, any back label and the capsule as that will help greatly

This i found on google and seems to be the same as the front.

Maybe this will be better :

Thanks in advance............

I also find somewhere it could be a Gilbey's bottling ( the same place where i found the etiket (the seller wrote it as text with the pics)

It's as I thought, it's not 100% pure Scotch Whisky but what's called and "admix" made from 100% Pure Malt Scotch and a local neutral/whisky type spirit. These admixes sometimes only contain 5 or 10% malt and the very best possibly 25%. Nowhere does it state 100% Pure Scotch Whisky.


It's definitely not a Gilbey's bottling as the label would state either their name or the name of a subsiduary company and to make it certain the bottles branded by Margant.

Sorry to disappoint you but there was a time when there were a lot of this happening, mainly from the 1930's through to the late 1950's. The formation of the Scotch Whisky Association quickly brought this to a stop.
