Catto's Rare old Scottish Highland Whisky
Lot number: 012149
Winning bid: £25
Catto's is one of the oldest family names in the long tradition of Scotch whisky blending.
James Catto began his business in 1861 in Aberdeen. He decided to blend the high quality local Highland malt whiskies, sold in his store, with popular Lowland grain whiskies. And so he locked himself away, measuring, mixing and tasting until he was sure he had created the finest blended Scotch. Only then did he share his product with anyone else. His craftsman-like approach paid off and his whisky was an instant success. Now part of International Beverages Holdings in Airdrie.
This bottle is from the 70s, is 75cl, 70degs proof 40% vol
