So far we have found out from Chris Morris (master distiller for Woodford Reserve) that it's probably from the late 1930s or early '40s and must have been a Schenley brand since they controlled the Lawrenceburg plant.

Photos?

The label and bottle kind of reminds me of the product now called "Southern Comfort" First thing it hit me when I saw it.
