Jefferson Whiskey 100 Proof 1913 (1 Bottle Quart)

Jefferson Whiskey 100 Proof 1913

Distilled in 1913, bottled in 1917, tax strip over driven cork, front label very slightly creased, stained and peeling, back label soiled

This is a true pre-Prohibition relic – distilled in 1913 and bottled in 1917 by a distillery that ceased to exist when the national ban on alcohol production took hold in 1920. The distillery in question is R.P. Pepper, sometimes known as Allen-Bradley, sometimes as Elk Run, and it was part of an expansive complex of distilleries and warehouses in eastern Louisville, KY. Jefferson, named for the county in which Louisville sits, counted among R.P. Pepper’s leading labels, though it, too, disappeared with Prohibition.

This release has no relationship with present-day Jefferson’s, the modern label named after Thomas Jefferson.

Please note this bottle is sealed with a paper tax strip only
