- Description
- This rare 1950s ceramic decanter from Hunter & Oliver of Bury St. Edmunds represents an earlier era of blended Scotch presentation and composition. Holding approximately one imperial gallon, the decanter itself is now as much a historical artefact as the whisky it contains, with faded labelling that obscures its original specifications. The exact age and cask maturation remain unknown, adding to its curiosity value. For collectors of vintage vessels and those interested in how blended Scotch was packaged and marketed mid-century.
