Description

A bottle Greer's OVH Scotch whisky sealed with spring cap closure. We estimate this was bottled in the 1950s.

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

William Greer moved from Belfast to Glasgow in 1893, where he became a prominent wine and spirits merchant. The company was first purchased by Mitchell Bros, which later became a subsidiary of the DCL. There, it was the licence holder for St. Magdalene distillery, until 1979 when all trading interests were transferred to John Hopkins & Co.

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.
