Macpherson’s “Cluny” (1950s-1960s Edition) (75cl, 43.4%)

Macpherson’s “Cluny” Blended Scotch Whisky, dating from the 1950s-60s, represents a fascinating piece of whisky history from Scotland’s golden age of production. This vintage expression, originally destined for export, found its way to the Italian market where an additional label indicates 43.4% ABV and a 75cl volume. A testament to mid-century Scotch whisky production, this bottle features its original labeling with the distinctive Macpherson’s branding, supplemented by Italian import details. While Cluny would later become a well-known name in the blended Scotch category, this bottle captures a moment in time when Scottish distillers were expanding their reach into continental Europe, particularly Italy, which was emerging as an important market for Scotch whisky during this period.
