Hi
We have a bottle of very old whisky in the house. We believe it is 120 to 150 years old.
The label is quite damaged so difficult to tell. We opened it last Christmas and it is delicious. Probably the best whisky I've ever tasted so very keen to understand what it is. Below is a photo of the bottle. Thanks for your help!

So far I think I can decipher the following:

FEARON?BLOC??? (R could be a P and L an I)

F???DED 1786 (Founded 1786)

Veuf fine clubic?

Produce of great britain

Row house
Oldborn via (olborn viaduct?)

Any help much appreciated. I am no expert but it tastes very good. Smell is quite light, a big fruity and sweet. Taste is a bit smoky and aftertaste is long and a bit sweet, not sharp at all. Very nice to drink.
