Description

A miniature bottle Greer's OVH Special Selection Scotch whisky. We estimate this was bottled in the 1960s.

Please note, there is no size or ABV stated on the label, but this appears to be a 5cl bottle.

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 lot comes from the extensive collection of a Merseyside collector who began his hobby with bottles bought for guests as digestifs at private dinner parties in the early 1970s. His interest led to him advertising in the UK national newspapers, and buying and selling bottles as far afield as Australia, America and Ireland, with his last significant addition being a collection he purchased from Stoke On Trent in 1984.
