John Begg Blue Cap Bottled 1920s 75cl

A very old bottle of John Begg Blue Cap Scotch Whisky, bottled by John Begg Ltd. This is sealed with a driven cork with a metal capsule. We estimate this was bottled in the 1920s.

John Begg is best known as the founder of Royal Lochnagar distillery, built in 1845 and awarded a royal warrant by Queen Victoria following a visit in 1848. After John Begg's death in 1880, the business was managed by his son Henry. The company established a bottling and blending base in Glasgow in 1906 and began to export worldwide. John Begg Limited was acquired by John Dewar & Sons in 1916 and then passed to DCL, though it continued to trade under the John Begg Name.
