An old bottle of King Edward I blended Scotch Whiskies Not a great deal is known about this brand, apart from the fact it was established in 1903 and was produced by Clan Munro Limited. We estimate this bottle dates from the 1950’s and was imported into Italy by Martini & Rossi.

This blend remains somewhat of a mystery, adding to its allure for collectors. With its vintage provenance and classic design, it’s a must-have for enthusiasts seeking a rare and intriguing addition to their collection.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Notes of nutty brown bread, green bananas and a touch of orange zest.

Palate: Cinnamon, coconut ice and lingering liquorice.

Finish: White pepper and more banana notes.

CLAN MUNRO WHISKY LIMITED

Long associated with William Lawson Distillers Limited, in 1953 Clan Munro Whisky Ltd, then owned by Martini & Rossi, acquired the Lawson's trademark and renamed it “William Lawson's” to avoid confusion with the Distillers Company Ltd (DCL) better known blend, “Peter Dawson”.

In 1967 the firm relocated from Liverpool to Coatbridge in Lanarkshire and two years later came the creation of William Lawson Whisky Ltd, with the intention that the new company would take over all Martini & Rossi whisky interests from Clan Munro. That takeover was completed in 1972, with the new company name being amended to William Lawson Distillers.

In 1993, Bacardi acquired Martini & Rossi, which included the William Lawson's brand but by then Clan Munro Whisky Limited and its brands had disappeared.

Apart from a range of whiskies under the “King Edward I” label there was also a “Clan Munro” blend for a while. Both were widely distributed overseas, and particularly in Europe, due to the original Martini and Rossi connection.
