Harwood Canadian Whisky Appraisal

Vintage Harwood Canadian Whisky Miniature Bottle

This is a vintage 1/10th pint (miniature) bottle of Harwood Canadian Whisky, a blended Canadian whisky product. The vessel is constructed of amber-colored glass with a rounded body and a long, tapered neck typical of spirits bottles. It features an original gold-toned metal screw cap. A significant distinguishing feature is the intact pink paper federal tax stamp over the cap, which bears the text 'LESS THAN 1/2 PINT', indicating it was bottled for the U.S. market, likely between the 1960s and early 1980s. The paper label is predominantly cream with gold and red accents, featuring a stylized maple leaf logo and the text 'HARWOOD CANADIAN - A Blend of Canadian Whiskies'. The label appears largely intact but shows slight yellowing consistent with age. Condition-wise, the bottle remains sealed with its original contents, though some natural evaporation (ullage) is visible, with the fill level resting near the shoulder of the bottle. There are no visible cracks or chips in the glass. The printing on the tax stamp remains legible, though the edges of the stamp show minor fraying from age. The overall craftsmanship reflects the standard industrial production of mid-century commercial distillery bottling.
