Description

A miniature bottle of McCallum's Perfection Scots Whisky, bottled by D & J McCallum and sealed with a driven cork. We estimate this was bottled in the 1930s.

Please note, there is no size or ABV stated on the label.

The back label reads: Special Notice - The widespread substitution of 'Perfection' other than ours has rendered it necessary to emphasis the name McCallum and consequently to re-design our label in such fashion as can be more fully protected by law, Although the get-up is changed the contents are still 'Perfection'.

D & J McCallum was established by brothers and innkeepers Duncan and John McCallum in Edinburgh in 1807. The inn grew to a shop and warehouse and the company released the McCallum's Perfection blend in 1911. The original inn was destroyed in a bombing raid during World War I. The company became part of Distillers Company Limited in 1937, and the DCL-owned Cragganmore distillery was licenced to D & J McCallum.

This lot is from a large collection of miniatures and memorabilia built up during the 1980s and 1990s by whisky expert Sukhinder Singh. He is now selling part of his collection to make room for more acquisitions.
