Is it possible to buy a Whisky botled in 1941
If so I would like to see about buying one for FIL's 65th Birthday but
don't know where to look

It's from this web site.

You could give these a call...

Thanks Graham I rang them and unfortunately because of the war there was
very little whisky brewed so if they could get a bottle it would cost
over £1,000

I think you may have more luck if you look for a whisky that was
*distilled* in 1941 rather than bottled in that year, because Scotch whisky
has to be at least 3 years in the cask before it can be bottled.
I'm sure it's available but it will be at a price! A bottle of wine or port
might be an alternative.

Many whiskies are in extremely limited supply and very few war-time
distillations are available on the market. 1941 is a particularly bad
year. We can obtain a 1942 Mortlach which retails at around £630-the
kind of price you would expect to pay for whisky this age. I will try to

Or at an even greater price, rumour has it there are still bottles of Whisky
about which washed ashore on Eriskay from the SS Politician in 1941 ;-)

I wish. If I had one I reckon I'd be sitting in my villa in the Bahamas just
