(at around 11 mins) Before leaving port, Denham tells his assistant to pack "Red Label 80 per cent proof" into a crate labeled "lemonade". At present, Johnnie Walker Red Label scotch sold in the US is 80 proof (meaning 40% alcohol). However, until the late 1980's and early 1990's, almost all blended scotch sold in the US, including Red Label, was reduced from 86 and 86.8 proof (or 43% and 43.4% alcohol) to 80 proof. Though numerous single malts are still 86 proof, from 1909 into the 1980's, Red Label, which is a blended scotch, would have been at least 86 proof. Denham's mistake of saying "per cent proof" is a natural mistake that the character may have made, and may even have been intended by the writers, but referring to Red Label as 80 proof back in the 1930s is a definite goof.
