MacNaughton Canadian Whisky

[FamilyFind]

After digging through some boxes in my late great-grandparents basement, I came across an unopened bottle of Imported Canadian MacNaughton. I cannot seem to find any date printed on the label. There is a label across the top that reads "Bureau of ATF Distilled Spirits 070721248"

I have read a little about the brand, but cannot find much information. Ive read a little about the ATF Distilled Spirits, but soon became very lost in government regulations.

If anyone has any information on how to find out more information on when this product was bottled, it would make for much more enjoyable celebrations when it is finally opened.

Thanks!

Hello Ryan,

It looks to be of more recent manufacture from the appearance of the metal twist-top.

Here's a wee bit of information:

"Canadian MacNaughton History

chages the name to Canadian Schenley Ltd. (U D Archive,

Uncataloged Manuscript).

1954 - A second Canadian Distillery is built in Vancouver,
