From Graces Guide
Wholesale wine and Scotch whisky merchants, blenders, dealers, exporters, and bottlers, 23 Adelphi, Aberdeen
1797 This was the date of establishment stated by the firm in, for example, advertising for its "Belted Plaid" brand of whisky.
1912 Black and Ferguson Limited was incorporated as a private company, with capital of £24,400, to acquire the business of Black & Ferguson, wine and spirit merchants in Aberdeen.[1]
1924 The company went into voluntary liquidation.[2] The company's whisky stocks, comprising 300,000 proof gallons, were partly warehoused in Aberdeen and at thirty different distilleries north of the Grampians. These were now purchased from the liquidator by John Dewar and Sons for a sum said to be around £250,000.[3]
