A whiskey glut was happening in America as sales began to decline at the end of the 60s and continued through the 80s and 90s. Distilleries did not slow down production, assuming the glut was only temporary, but as they realized it wasn't, they had to come up with creative ways to move product. Many distilleries partnered with Non Distiller Producers, to bottle their whiskey under a different brand and export it overseas. This is a 20 year rye distilled in the 80s, most likely by Michter's at their location in Pennsylvania at that time, bottled under a different brand and exported to the Japanese market. It's a wonderful expression of aged pennsylvania rye, the same distillate as the Rye Royal 20year, but in a totally different and more rare bottling brand.

This 12 year old bottled in bond (100pf) expression was distilled at the legendary Stitzel-Weller distillery and and Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle himself.  This 4/5 quart size bottle is in impeccable condition and comes complete with a gift box and 2 shot glasses bearing the Old Fitzgerald brand name as well.  The Old Fitzgerald brand was considered a premium bourbon during the age that this was produced and the whiskey inside is considered some of the best and most highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.

National Distillers is one of the most sought after "vintage" producers. Known for it's beautiful flavors of baking spices, fresh cookies and cake. The Bond and Lillard brand has existed since the late 1860s and was added to the portfolio of National Distillers from just after prohibition until the distillery closed, however the brand has recently been revived and is reportedly produced at Wild Turkey. This expression was bottled in the 1960s, carries a 6 year age statement and 90 proof, bottled in an enormous half gallon size container back in the days when you could still buy whiskey by the Gallons at stores.

Bottled in bond - Distilled in 1916 and bottled in 1933 at a full quart size. The bottle label and tax strip have seen better days, but those were almost 100 years ago, but those days were almost 100 days ago. Distilled at the original old taylor distillery which was designed like a castle and has recently been renovated and restored as the Castle & Key Distillery. Due to prohibition, most stock was purchased and sold by Records show that most of their stock was purchased by the American Medicinal Spirits Company or at least sold using their license regulation for medicinal whiskey. This is an amazing expression of prohibition era bourbon with a brand that is still being produced today although by a very different distillery and flavor profile.

Back in the 1960s through the 80s, distilleries were having trouble selling their whiskey in bottles so they started creating unique bottlings through the use of Decanters. Old Crow, which was owned and produced by National Distillers created a full chess set of decanter bottles, complete with all pieces and the ability to send them postage to receive a carpeted chessboard as well. The whiskey inside is 86pf and age stated 10 years, but is among some of the highest rated whiskey by vintage enthusiasts that has ever been produced.

Widely considered some of the best rye that has ever been produced, this Michter's 25 year rye from 2014 is a must have for all collectors and consumers.  This particular bottle was a rare export to Taiwan and actually reflects native language on the back of the bottle.  These are exceedingly valuable to collectors as the rarity of such an incredible bottle into Taiwan makes them much more difficult to find than the American releases.
