Gilbeys spey royal mail

A blast from the past!

Gilbey's Spey is a classic Scottish whisky liqueur that was once widely available in the UK. It was produced by Gilbey's, a well-known spirits company, and was marketed as a smooth and approachable whisky liqueur.

The Royal Mail, of course, is the UK's postal service. In the past, Gilbey's Spey was often sold through the Royal Mail's postal network, particularly through their "General Post Office" (GPO) outlets.

In the 1960s and 1970s, it was common to see Gilbey's Spey advertised in the Royal Mail's catalogues and on their packaging. The liqueur was marketed as a convenient and affordable way to enjoy a whisky-based drink at home, and its availability through the Royal Mail made it easy for people to purchase it.

Although Gilbey's Spey is no longer widely available in the UK, it still holds a special place in the hearts of many whisky enthusiasts who remember it fondly.
