King's Ransom Round the World

King's Ransom 'Round the World' by William Whitely & Co, owners of Edradour. Bottled in the 1940s (probably pre-1944), distributed in 1947. This would put it within the era that notorious Mafia boss Frank Costello was the U.S. importer for Whitely (as he had been in Prohibition).  'This blend contains 85 per cent malt whiskies (mostly Edradour) which have been voyaged round the world in Bodega Sherry Wood casks, via Capetown, Melbourne, Cape Horn, Rio, Madeira, and so on back to Scotland.'  Bottled at 94 Proof (47% ABV), 4/5 Quart (757ml).
