Seems like the bottles just keep on coming. What you are looking at is a bottle that my neighbors daughter came across when cleaning out one of the boxes they removed after he had died. She remembered that I collected scotch and gave it to me today. I never saw Lester take a drink of alcohol the 15 years I knew him which explains why this was packed away.
I spend some time looking but I couldn't find anything about a 4/5ths 12 yo 91 proof bottle so I asked a collector over in the EU who told me that this was bottled in 1963 or 1964 which means that it was distilled in 1951 or 1952. Still only a 12 yo but made almost 60 years ago. Imagine getting two bottles both made in 1951 only a few days apart. :thumbs:
