Rum In Johnnie Walker Bottle

Hello all,

I have recently acquired a bottle of frigate rum which has been bottled in a johnnie walker bottle. It says on the front of the bottle that it was bottled in sydney. I was just wondering about the history of it and maybe a value. I've spent ages trying to google some info about it but have come up with nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will try to attach photos but computers arent my thing.

I would doubt that it's been bottled in a JW bottle and, unless JW is branded on the glass, then it's most likely a standard square bottle that quite a few brands use in which case have it with Coke

I agree with blenderm. I have seen the picture of the bottle. It is a Johnnie Walker style bottle, but is not a Johnnie Walker bottle. The Frigate Rum bottle's shoulders are not as broad as the Johnnie Walker bottle. The shoulders of the Frigate Rum bottle are more tapered. As blenderm stated, there are quite a few brands who use the square bottle "style". Don't get your hopes up; Frigate Rum is not rare. It currently sells for $56.07 Australian.

on the back of the bottle it has 'Johnnie walker' written in glass and underneath that it has 'This bottle always remains the property of johnnie walker & sons Ltd.'
It also has on the front label 'Bottled by John Walker & sons Ltd Sydney'

I will try to upload some photos as soon as i learn how.

Can the moderator please post their email address and I will email the photos if that is easier. Ta
