Ord 12 Year Old Peter Dawson 26 2/3 Fl Ozs

As a distillery owner on Speyside, Peter Dawson was able to access whiskies from a number of local distilleries and used these contacts to create his blended whiskies, Peter Dawson Special, Extra Special and Old Curio. The company had an interest in Towiemore, Balmenach and Convalmore distilleries and, for a year, owned the Auchnaghie distillery outside Pitlochry.

The boom period for Scotch whisky and Peter Dawson sadly did not continue. Victims of the fallout from the Pattison crash of 1898 included Convalmore distillery, which went bankrupt in 1905. By 1924, during a period of major consolidation of the Scotch whisky industry, P. Dawson Ltd and 2.9 million gallons of maturing stock was purchased by the Buchanan-Dewar, John Walker and DCL companies.

Cases of Peter Dawson Special and Old Curio blended whiskies were on board the S.S. Politician when she ran aground off the Hebridean island of Eriskay in 1941. That event and those of the following days inspired sir Compton Mackenzie’s tale, Whisky Galore!.
