Number on bar code is 5 000267 023601.The inside of the label is number 8A1311273. Bottle is 1 liter ABV 43%. There is sign Duty free around age statement.

Hi kameo

Going by the label that looks like a 1980s bottling of Johnnie Walker Black Label you have.

I agree looks like a 1980s bottle.

Do I need to put more pictures so that you can be closer with year, or that can tell me only producer?

kameo the picture is fine, this same bottle style was producers throughout the 1980s. The number inside the bottle only means something to the producers of the whisky and is used for quality control. As William has said, going by the label and bottle shape/style this was likely produced in the 1980's, but it is impossible to narrow it down any further.
