Description

A bottle of Gibson's 5 Year Old Straight Rye Whiskey. This was distilled in Pennsylvania in Spring 1940 by the Gibson Distilling Company, bottled by JOS. S. Finch in Spring 1945 and distributed by Schenley Distillers.

This bottle comes from the collection of Richard Crobar, owner of The Crobar in London’s Soho for 20 years until its closure during Covid. In storage since then, Richard has decided it's time to put the collection up for sale. He says: ‘If you end up owning one or more of them, I hope they give you as much pleasure as they have given me over the years.
