Hello I would like some more information about this bottle. You can see the label on the front, there is no label on the back, no barcode. An estimate on when it was bottled?
Cheers for help

Unfortunately I can't help you, but Is that your photo Nikitas? If so, there's a big photobucket watermark right across the label. I recommend you use a better image sharing site like imgBB where you can share the image without it being resized, compressed, or watermarked.It's the best one I've found when it comes to keeping your images completely untouched.

EDIT: Just did a quick google search and it looks like a bottling from the 1970s. If you have no luck in this thread then maybe shoot Hayward Antiques a mesage and they can probably help you.

Not sure how much it would be worth though given it's been opened and looks about half full so lots of air has gotten at it. I think that will impact its value very heavily!

I would be pretty sure that is Tamdhu 10 year old bottle from the 1980s. as the proof strength of alcohol was used prior to 1980, from 1980 onwards they used %abv, also I recognise the style of bottle and would place it in the 1980s. It may well have been a duty free bottle given the bottle size.

Yeah on 2nd thought the bottle in that photo looks very similar to the 70s bottle I linked to but the alcohol content statement and volume are clearly different on the 70s label, so yeah, looks like it's from the 80s.

Looks similar to the one on Whiskyfun if you scroll down from this link. There's a little different but is the 43%
