My company has one of, if not THE, largest collection of pre-prohibition whiskey in the world. Pulled a few for a client order and took a picture, thought you all might enjoy. L to R:

1911 JB Beam
NV Yellow Label Rye (probably around 1920s)
1916 Pebble Ford (bottled 1933)
NV Bellows Hotel Berkeley Special Reserve Rye
1912 Old Crow Rye (bottled 1920)
1900 Boone's Knoll (photocopy label)
1898 Golden Wedding Old Rye

Wow impressive.

I've been fortunate enough to try several of them and I'm stunned at how they taste. They are certainly the best whiskey/bourbon I've ever tried. It's a facinating glimpse into the history of the trade going through them, mostly produced by "medicinal companies" and there are some labels that people could not get away with these days.

I have a bottle of Peeble Ford sealed that is dated on back March 3, 1897. The lable is not in very good condition but the contents inside is clear free of contaminents. The cork has never been removed. email me ronjohnston07@gmail.com

I am not a Bourbon fan, anyone interested in this??

Are you looking to sell it? If so, I am interested! Can you post some images of the bottle? Specifically the front and rear labels as well as the level of liquid in the bottle and the tax seal.

Thank you!
