Interesting to see this print advert. I have a McCallum glass hip flask (leather bound) and have been trying to find out more about where it originated, if there was/is a distillery, and whether this was a whiskey produced for the export market (as seems to be the case).
I have found little to document McCallums whiskey and assume that this must have been one of the distilleries which closed down in the 1930’s?
If anybody knows more I would be delighted to know about it.

Vivo en Venezuela, este whisky se importo a mi pais durante los años 70´s. Tanto mi padre como yo lo consumimos por su excelente relacion precio-calidad. A partir del año 1980 no lo volvi a ver ni aqui ni en el extranjero.
Tengo una pequeña navaja o cortaplumas de MC Callum’s Perfection Scots Whisky. Tiene la inscripción publicitaria de un solo lado. Las canchas parecen estar hechas en marfil (no estoy seguro) Las dos pequeñas hojas tienen la inscripción Gibberson & Co. Acompañada del lago de un violín. Adicionalmente Sheffield. England. Tienen datos sobre esta publicidad? Gracias

Cheers…just wish I could order some from Australia where it is still available.
