Antique Spiritus Frumenti 100 Proof 1917 Distilled in Spring 1917, bottled at the Frankfort Distillery by The Geo. T. Stagg Company Inc., Distillery No.113, ullage: nearing bottom of the tax strip This bottle, and especially its packaging, is a rare historical testament to the changes imposed by Prohibition. Produced at the George T. Stagg distillery, now known as Buffalo Trace, it comes in a tamper-proof box with an extensive note on the back to druggists and consumers explaining how to open it and how to look for evidence of tampering. Its 1934 bottling date speaks to the lingering effects of Prohibition a year after its repeal. The whiskey itself is exquisite and was distilled over a century ago, making a true piece of American distilling history. 1 bottle pint (original carton) Please refer to images for levels and conditions ﻿All Lots are offered for sale in the condition they are in at the time of sale and sold “AS IS” in accordance with the Conditions of Business for Buyers.

Joseph Finch Rare Bourbon 15 Year Old 86.8 Proof 1981

Joseph Finch Rare Bourbon 15 Year Old 86.8 Proof 1981 Distilled in Spring 1981, bottle #501 of 2400, includes original paper wrapping, red wax capsule slightly cracked, front label wrinkled, back label pen marked, original carton slightly worn Along with Henry Clay 16 Year Old, Joseph Finch was supposed to inaugurate a new series of luxury bourbons, Rare Bourbon, launched in 1997 by United Distillers (today Diageo). The Joseph Finch name actually began with a Pennsylvania Distillery, which a forerunner of United acquired during Prohibition. As with Henry Clay, only 2,400 bottles were produced before United, seeing an utter lack of interest from whiskey fans, pulled the plug on the series. The company was simply ahead of its time; decades later, not only would luxury American whiskey no longer be an oxymoron, but the whiskeys in the Rare Bourbon series would become coveted collector’s items. 1 bottle 75cl (original carton) Please refer to images for levels and conditions ﻿All Lots are offered for sale in the condition they are in at the time of sale and sold “AS IS” in accordance with the Conditions of Business for Buyers.
