Johnnie Walker Red

Can anyone please give me some more information about this bottle of Red Label?

I guess it's post 1936 as the label states 'By appointment to the late King George V'. It does have some 'solids' floating about when shaken but is perfectly clear.

The bottom of the bottle has the letters JW with 124A1(orAI) beneath. All other details should be apparent from the photos.

So is it drinkable? Does it have any collectible value?

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give.

Thanks for links w/ the photos! We'll see about having your bottle of Johnnie Walker dated....

Thank you.

Your bottle of Johnnie Walker Red has been dated to be from 1936-1940.

Thanks for that, Jojo. Orla McCartney from Diageo has contacted me directly & we are now considering putting it in the next whisky auction with Bonhams in Edinburgh.

We live in Kent UK & are - coincidentally - visiting family in Inverness in a few weeks time. As our route takes us via the Edinburgh ring road anyway, it would appear to make sense for us to drop the bottle off at the auctioneers on our way north, so things seem to be working out quite nicely. Almost like it was just meant to happen

Thanks again for your help.

Great! If you could keep us posted on how it all goes, we will certainly appreciate it! Safe travels and all the best! Jojo
