House of Commons No. 1 Scotch Whisky – 12 Year Old (Vintage 1980s Bottling)
£80.00
A Vintage Parliamentary Blend
This is a piece of British political history. The “No. 1” blend has been the official whisky of the House of Commons since 1885, when James Buchanan (who later founded the Black & White brand) won the contract to supply the parliamentary bars.
This specific bottle is a vintage 1980s release. We can date it accurately because it holds 75cl of liquid; the UK standardized bottle sizes to 70cl in 1991, meaning this bottle predates that change. It was distilled and bottled by James Buchanan & Co. specifically for sale within the Palace of Westminster and select gift shops.
Tasting Profile:
-
Nose: Classic old-school blend notes. Soft grain, toffee, and a hint of dusty oak.
-
Palate: Light and grassy with notes of vanilla, dried fruit, and a touch of white pepper.
-
Finish: Short but warming, with a gentle sweetness.
