William Lawson's Rare Blended Scotch Whisky 1970s (70cl, 40%)

William Lawson's Rare is a blended Scotch whisky from the 1970s, in a 70cl bottle at 40% ABV. The William Lawson's story starts in 1889, when E&J Burke, a blending, bottling and export company in Dublin, registered the Lawson's Liqueur Whiskey trademark. William Lawson came from Scotland, moved to Ireland and became Burke's secretary. When Martini & Rossi acquired the Lawson's blend, it was renamed William Lawson's, agreed with DCL, to avoid confusion with their Peter Dawson company. Blending was by then based in Coatbridge. Martini & Rossi set up William Lawson's Distillers in 1972 and bought Macduff distillery that year.
