AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Two bottles of Johnnie Walker Black Label "Extra Special Old Scotch Whisky", bottled in the 1970s, never opened, each in its original box.
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 – which explains collectors' interest in these older bottlings.
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 bottles cannot be earlier than that.
- Bottle base: embossed "S8984 / LIQUOR BOTTLE / SCOTLAND", United Glass hexagonal UG logo, manufacturing codes.
- 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 "By Appointment to Her Majesty the Queen – Scotch Whisky Distillers".
- Back label: gold diamond "Distilled and bottled in Scotland under British Government Supervision", typical of this period.
- Boxes: original gold and black boxes with the Striding Man, "Born 1820 still going strong" 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 bottles are 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. The values entered in the form are indicative.
CONDITION
- Unopened, caps intact
- Fill levels: base of neck (see photos)
- Labels complete, with age-related wear on the gilding
- Boxes present with wear: rubbed edges and corners, one box with a torn top flap
Please refer to the photos, which form part of the description.
SHIPPING
Carefully packed and protected. Shipped with tracking and insurance.
