Lot number: 182-03472

Winning bid: £40

According to Richard Paterson, who began his illustrious whisky blending career with A. Gillies & Co in Glasgow in 1966, the company was ‘an old-fashioned firm involved in broking, blending and distilling.’

While the company was based out of Renfield Street in Glasgow, it operated the Glen Scotia distillery and a whisky warehousing and bottling site in Campbeltown, the latter formed from the merger of Glen Nevis and Ardlussa’s disused warehouses. Its main Scotch whisky brands included the Old Court, Scotia Royale and Royal Culross blends, as well as Glen Scotia single malt.

Royal Culross blended malt first appeared in the mid-sixties but had disappeared by the mid-eighties. It bears the name of the historic Burgh of Culross, Scotland’s most complete example of a burgh of the 17th and 18th centuries.

Age: 8 Years Old

40% ABV / 75cl
