| I believe the GL alcohol measurement unit means grams per 1 litre, a unit of measurement which i believe was more common throughout much of French speaking Europe, as well as in Spain and Portugal. But i thought it was used more for the measurement of blood alcohol levels. I have never come across the GL unit used on a whisky bottle. i have seen AL% refering to the percentage of alcohol. |

thanks a lot, very interesting.
yes, this bottle is marked 750ml and 43'GL, I was told from the 70s.
all the other ( same) golf course series are all marked 750ml and 43abv.
strange.
cheers! |
