Nazeing Old Parr Whisky bottle for United Distillers
« on: August 06, 2012, 12:08:06 AM »
I was searching for something else and came across this.
Apparently this was the most expensive whisky produced selling for £580 per bottle and the bottles were made by Nazeing Glass

I wonder when they were made M? The metal bashers started in 1975, so that gives us a start date... perhaps Stephen P-H will drop by and tell us more.
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd

I'm trying to work out who made the whisky..... or is it the bottle alone that makes the price so silly?

Only a blended! give me a single malt like Glenfarclas or Yamazaki any day and the glass is not so interesting either ;D ;D

United Distillers as was
but there is some info I just came across on why they keep the original distillery name (takeovers etc)  I don't know anything about it and they used to be my client for Bell's Whisky....oh the good old days when Famous Grouse was my bete noire.

I like the glass - I like it as much as I love the Bombay Sapphire bottles.  Have you seen other special bottles with decoration in or on the glass Keith?  I'm curious.

A locel charity shop here had an empty bottle of Haig Dimple with a snakeskin cover. Sadly, as I was telling the manageress I thought it might be worth a tad more than the £3 on it, a dealer grabbed it.
I really don't know much about whisky bottles though.
Vasart melted some and collapsed them into ashtrays. Teacher's is the brand-name on mine.
Then there's Timo Sarpaneva's classic, the Finlandia gin bottle, and all the weird ones containing even weirder drinks, with internal parts you find in airport shops....
