Description

A bottle of Buchanan's Red Seal Finest Selected Old Scotch whisky, sealed with a driven cork and a paper capsule. We estimate this was bottled in the 1920s to 1930s.

This carries a royal warrant by appointment to H.M. The King.

A statement on the back label reads:

Analytical Laboratory, Surgeon's Hall, Edinburgh, 21st February 1891. Buchanan's Special 'Red Seal'. 'I have to certify that I have made a careful chemical analysis of a sample of this Scotch Whisky and the results compare most favourably with those obtained from the best Scotch and Irish Malt Whiskies, and prove that the said Whisky has been carefully distilled, has been thoroughly matured and is practically free from fusil oil or other noxious ingredients. It has apparently been aged in a sherry cask, has acquired a full ethereal aroma, and is in all respects a first-class and agreeable beverage.' Stevenson Macadam Ph.D. &c. Lecturer in Chemistry and Consulting Analytical Chemist.

This Buchanan's Red Seal sold at our online auction for £230
