A bottle of Ainslie's King's Legend sealed with spring cap closure. This was produced by Ainslie & Heilbron Ltd. and contains a high proportion of old Clynelish (Brora). We estimate this was bottled in the 1950s.

Please not there is no size or ABV stated on the labels.

James Ainslie & Co. purchased Brora distillery in 1896. In 1912, the company merged to form Ainslie, Baillie & Co. It merged in to the growing Distiller’s Company in 1926 and became known as Ainslie & Heilbron (Disitllers) Ltd., It remained the licensed proprietor of Brora distillery into the 1980s. When the distillery closed Ainslie’s blend was discontinued and the name sold off. Brora may form part of the blend.

This bottle is from a large collection built up during the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s.

The New Zealand based collection is mainly comprised of blended Scotch whiskies and early Single Malt Scotch whiskies produced for export markets.

The bottles were inherited and conserved by the seller, the collector’s son.
