1970s Light Old Clipper De Luxe

Mid Shoulder

“Light Old Clipper De Luxe” appears to be a blended Scotch whisky bottled by Reid Stuart & Co. Ltd., with a strength of 43% ABV. While detailed tasting notes are scarce, based on its style and era (likely mid-20th century), here’s a likely profile:

Nose: Gentle grain sweetness with hints of honey, light oak, and a touch of citrus zest.

Palate: Smooth and mellow, offering notes of vanilla fudge, soft malt, and perhaps a whisper of peat or spice depending on the blend.

Finish: Clean and short-to-medium, with lingering sweetness and a faint herbal dryness.

This whisky was likely produced for the Italian market and may have been part of a miniature bottling from the 1970s
