Buchanan's Black & White Spring Cap - The Real Christmas Spirit Bottled 1930s - Christmas Gift Box 2 x 75cl / 40%

A festive wooden gift box containing two bottles of Black & White Scotch Whisky, sealed with spring cap closures. We estimate these were bottled in the 1930s.

The labels carry royal warrants by appointment to HM The King and HRH The Prince of Wales.

The back labels read: Black & White - Select Committee - At the British and Foreign Spirits Select Committee, appointed by Government in 1890, the Chief Analytical Chemist of the Government (Dr Bell, C B) spoke in terms of high appreciation of a sample of our Scotch Whisky, saying: 'From the general fine character of the sample there is reason to believe that it has been warehoused for many years, etc.' Fifteen years later the Medical Magazine (October 1905) said: 'The statement made by Dr Bell is as true to-day as it was then.' For more than 30 years to date (Jan. 1936) a leading expert has reported every month without exception, 'that the analytical figures are normal, and that the taste and flavour are of the usual high order.'
