Peter Dawson Special Bottled 1920s-1930s 5cl

A miniature bottle of Peter Dawson Special Scotch whisky, sealed with a cork stopper. This was produced by Peter Dawson Ltd. We estimate this was bottled in the 1920s or 1930s.

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

This bottle is from a large collection of miniatures purchased by the seller at an auction in 1979. The collection is mainly comprised of blended Scotch whiskies and single malts bottled in the first half of the 20th century.

Peter Dawson was a family operation established in 1882, which built Towiemore distillery in 1897. In 1925, it was acquired by DCL, where it held the license for Ord Distillery until 1982. Bottles of 1940 Peter Dawson whisky sealed with a short metal capsule were recovered from the sunken cargo of the S.S. Politician, whose wreck in 1941 inspired Compton Mackenzie's 1947 novel, Whisky Galore.
