Description from the seller

Vintage - 1930

the destillers agency LTD

King George IV Old Scotch Whisky "Spring Cap

1. bottle, 75.cl

Always stored in the cellar at a temperature of 14-16°C

Grouped lots are not shipped; each bottle purchased is shipped separately.

Shipping costs to the Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Madeira, etc.: 85€

King George IV Old Scotch Whisky with a "spring cap" (a self-opening metal cap or clip) is a classic blended whisky highly sought after by collectors. Although the self-opening metal "spring cap" began to gain popularity in the 1930s—remaining in use through the 1950s and 1960s—surviving bottles of King George IV from that specific era are true pieces of history, distilled by The Distillers Agency in Scotland.

• Vintage Flavor Profile: As a "pre-modern" bottling, the proportion of malt whiskies in the blend is typically higher than in contemporary blends. It is distinguished by intensely smoky notes—featuring old-school peat—and an oily, complex texture on the palate.
• ABV and Format: These are typically found in 75 cl or "4/5 Quart" (a historical export measurement) formats, with an alcohol content ranging between 43% and 43.4%.

Rare editions or editions from the years 35-40: Their value can easily exceed €500 due to their extreme scarcity.
