Blue Star 5 Year Old Rare Old Scotch Whisky The Tanist Bonding Company

Blue Star is a blend from The Tanist Bonding Company, founded in Glasgow in 1968 by Osvaldo Franchi, with an office on Hope Street, which in the 1970s and 1980s created a series of Scotch brands for the Italian market. Franchi sought to strengthen ties between Italy and Scotland; after his death in 1990, the company was dissolved two years later.

This five-year-old blend, made entirely from Scotch whiskies and bottled at source, was imported by the Brandy and Spirit House of the Republic of San Marino, a mirror of a market served to measure.
