DESCRIPTION:
- Vintage Cutty Sark Blended Scots Whisky Empty Glass Bottle by Berry Bros. & Rudd.
- Mid-Century Italian Export Variant (Circa 1960s / 1970s)
UNIQUE ITALIAN LABELING:
- Italian Market Variant: The main yellow label reflects Italy as the country of import. The lower front text featuring "Gradi 43" and the Italian customs references date this bottle as a mid-century European export variant.
- Tax Strip Verification: The red Italian import strip features the text partially visible "IMPOSTA FABBRICA ACQUAVITE", which translates to "Spirits Manufacturing Tax," proving duties were paid upon entering Italy.
- Volume Details: The text "da litri 3/4" on the strip translates to "from 3/4 liters" (75cl / 750ml), which perfectly matches the bottle's physical size.
- Official State Markings: The red paper strip bears the text "Contrassegno di Stato" (State Mark) and references the U.T.I.F. (Technical Office for Manufacturing Taxes), the official body governing foreign alcohol imports in mid-century Italy.
CONDITION:
- Bottle is completely EMPTY. Glass is clean with no structural damage. Paper elements show minor scuffs, light staining, and shelf wear consistent with age.
- Please review all high-resolution photos closely for exact cosmetic condition.
