The McBrayer name has been a fixture in Kentucky since 1844, when W.H. McBrayer opened his eponymous distillery on the banks of Cedar Creek, east of Louisville. Among his most popular labels was Old McBrayer, which later passed through several owners before landing in the hands of the American Medicinal Spirits Co., which had a license to sell whiskey, with a doctor’s prescription, during Prohibition. This bottle, released in 1934 – less than two years after the end of Prohibition – carries an astounding 17-year age statement, and therefore was distilled in 1917 or before. This was distilled and aged at the Glenmore distillery in Owensboro, Kentucky. The bottle contains exceptional whiskey made according to pre-Prohibition methods, and stands as an artifact to a long-lost era of whiskey history.
