Comment

W & A Gilbey was founded in 1857 in London by brothers Walter and Alfred. Initially, they sold South African wines (As a British colony, these were subject to lower import duties than European wines), but later branched out into spirits and European wines.https://scotchwhisky.com/whiskypedia/5989/w-a-gilbey/
