I found two bottles of Ballantines Scotch Whiskey in my Grandmothers house after she passed, I don't drink however it seems a waste to just give them away without a little research done first, one is in its original wrapper and the other is also unopened however no wrapper they both have been distilled at Dumbarton. Little help.The third Scotch is one more unknown brand I thought I would add, however as you can see the other two are the same except one is still in hte wrapper.

They stopped using wrapping paper in the early 1970's so the bottle is at least that old. It can be dated more accurately from the front label.

I can now see the photo's and the Ballantines were definitely bottled between 1962 to 1967
