Description

This is the largest of the three clear, aquamarine coloured whiskey bottles. It was used for John A. McLaren's Perth Malt Whiskey and bears the logo pressed into the glass within a moulded oval on the front. The factory was started in 1841 and was still going strong in 1878. The blue glass has air bubbles and imperfections in the glass and a circular indentation in the bottom which shows it was mould blown and the pontil scar was ground smooth.
