Watson's No.10 Bottled 1960s - James Watson & Co. 75cl

A bottle of Watson's No.10 Old Scotch whisky, produced by James Watson & Co. Ltd. We estimate this was bottled in the 1960s.

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

James Watson & Co was founded in 1815, before being acquired by Buchanan-Dewar and Walker in 1923. Following the merger with DCL in 1925, Watson's large stocks of whisky, which featured malt from distilleries including Parkmore, Pulteney and Ord, was shared out between DCL's larger holdings. Following this, Watson's began a long decline, though its blends, Barley Bree and No.10, remained available in small quantities until the 1980s.

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.
