Currency Estimate
A bottle of Schenley Canadian Tradition Rye Whisky. The Canadian tax strip is dated 1971. This indicates that the youngest whisky in the bottle was distilled in 1971. We estimate this was bottled in the 1970s.
This lot comes from a large collection built up during the 1970s in Kent, England. For 50 years the owner displayed the collection in the family’s home bar. Then in 2021 the collection was dismantled to be sold at auction. Many of the bottles have stickers that show the original price paid and the date (month/year) of purchase.
Please see images for fill level and label condition. Note general wear and damage to the tax strip.

Older bottles often contain small amounts of sediment. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults.
This bottle does not appear to be leaking. While we take every care to pack bottles securely we cannot guarantee that old corks and closures will not leak in transit.
