Findlater's 5 Year Old Finest Blended Scotch Whisky (1970s) 75cl

An older bottling of the 5 year old blend from Findlater Mackie Todd & Co.

The Findlater brand of blended Scotch whisky was established early on in the company’s history by founder Alexander Findlater, whose uncle was a Scottish excise officer who held a superior office to the poet Robert Burns.

Findlater first purchased malt whisky from Shaw & Turbett and William Burns in 1826, though the supply was switched to the Glasgow Distillery Company in 1831, which supplied the burgeoning store with both grain and malt whiskies.

Findlater Scotch whisky continued to be bottled until the early 1980s. A range of expressions was released, from blends to 25-year-old single malt. The more collectible blends were often sold in Wedgwood decanters.

The name comes from the original founder, Alexander Findlater. Findlater Mackie Todd was one of its England-based companies bought by Bulmers, then by Beechams, which attempted to launched this whisky using the Findlater family name.
