Old Whisky Miniatures Found

[scz4]

Found these when looking through some old stuff from my grandparents "archive". They passed away approximately 20 years ago, so must be at least that old, but can anyone age them? No date stamps on any of the bottles.

Safe to sample?

p.s. I won't be trying the Cuprinol

Should be perfectly safe to sample. Half the bottles have old labels on them.

A nice find, should be fine for sampling though some miniatures have cardboard cap seals that can occasionally affect the malt within.

Not a clue about the ages...sorry

No older than late eighties, as that's when the marketing team at the distillers came up with the idea of marketing them together

They are all part of a range 'Classic Malts of Scotland', and possibly came in a box together - you can probably still buy them in the same way today..

All decent malts though, and should be absolutely fine to drink if the tops stayed tight.

Sold in two halves now! "Gentle" and "Strong". (Sounds like a shampoo).

Good detective work, thanks.

Those look like glass bottles, but in my experience if they're plastic bottles I'd chuck them.
