Johnnie Walker Black Label + Ballantine's Finest - b. 1970s - n/a - 2 bottles

Two vintage blended Scotch whiskies, both unopened and each in its original box. 1) JOHNNIE WALKER BLACK LABEL "EXTRA SPECIAL OLD SCOTCH WHISKY" - 1970s This vintage Black Label differs clearly from today's version: no age statement, "Extra Special" designation, from an era when the great Scotch blends relied on malts that are now rare. IDENTIFICATION AND DATING Cap: Gold screw cap marked "Extra Special" on top, "John Walker & Sons Limited" signature around the side, "Pat. No 1207487". This British patent number dates from around 1970, so the bottle cannot be earlier than that. Bottle base: Embossed "S8984 / LIQUOR BOTTLE / SCOTLAND", United Glass hexagonal UG logo, manufacturing codes "N" and "15". Labels: Neck label "Johnnie Walker Black Label", slanted label "Extra Special Old Scotch Whisky - John Walker & Sons Ltd, Kilmarnock, Scotland - Produce of Scotland", lower gold label with Royal Arms. Back label: Gold diamond "Distilled and bottled in Scotland under British Government Supervision", typical of this period. Box: Original gold and black box with the Striding Man and Royal Warrant "By appointment to Her Majesty the Queen". VOLUME AND ABV No volume or ABV is stated on the labels, which is consistent with bottles predating the general requirement for these mentions. The bottle is the standard size of the time, approx. 75 cl (26 2/3 fl oz). Black Label was then generally bottled at around 40-43% depending on the market; the exact ABV is not known. 2) BALLANTINE'S FINEST SCOTCH WHISKY - 1970s George Ballantine & Son Ltd, Distillers, Dumbarton & Elgin, Scotland. "Established 1827". Old-style label "By appointment to the late Queen Victoria / the late King Edward VII", red wax-seal logo. Neck label "Very Fine Scotch Whisky - Bottled in Scotland", red ribbon, original white screw cap. Amber flask bottle, base embossed "Geo. Ballantine & Son Ltd - Dumbarton & Elgin - Scotland" with United Glass UG logo. Original white Ballantine's box. Volume: approx. 1 litre. No volume or ABV stated on the labels. The values entered in the form (volume, ABV) are therefore indicative. CONDITION & FILL LEVELS Seals: Both bottles unopened, original caps fully intact. Fill levels: Johnnie Walker at top shoulder, Ballantine's at lower neck / high shoulder – very good levels for their age (see photos). Labels: Complete with minor age-related wear (some faded gilding on the Johnnie Walker labels, small tear on the edge of the Ballantine's back label – see photos). Boxes: Complete with age-related wear (rubbed corners, small marks). SHIPPING Very carefully packed, each bottle individually protected in heavy-duty packaging. Shipped with tracking
