Willsher's Black Bull Bottled 1920s-1930s 5cl

A miniature bottle of Willsher's Black Bull Special Scotch Whisky, sealed with a driven cork. This was bottled by George Willsher & Co., we estimate in the 1920s to 1930s.

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

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.

George Willsher & Co. was a whisky merchant founded in Dundee in 1864. The company owned Glencoull Highland Malt Distillery which closed in 1929. Aside from distilling and blending whisky, George Willsher's passion was breeding Aberdeen Angus, known locally as 'Black Cattle'. The Black Bull on the label of the company's flagship blend was said to be a portrait of one of Willsher's prize bulls. George Willsher died in 1912 and the company passed to his son, also named George. Since 2001, the Black Bull brand has been produced by Duncan Taylor.
