Old Grand Dad 86pf, French Export, 4/5qt, 1977
Interesting French export bottle with the label in French. Photos courtesy of Clark Baker.
Old Taylor Bonded, 500ml, 1971-1979
Note the sticker on the label intending to spin the change to metric as a postive. 5.6% larger than a pint!
Great Grand Dad 114pf, 750ml, ~1980
This bottle was most certainly the predecessor to the Old Grand Dad 114, though I had never seen it before. Although the bottle is stamped 77, I suspect this was from about 1980 due to the lack of UPC and both metric and ounces present.
Old Grand Dad 86pf, 375ml, 1989
Old Grand Dad 86 proof 375 ml, circa 1989. Note the UPC code, government warning, alcohol by volume reference and dot matrix code which establishes the bottle to at least November 1989. ‘F89′ text in the bottom left corner of the front label and a ’89’ embossed on the bottom of the glass likely dates the bottle to 1989 or shortly thereafter. This coupled with the red shield and 86259 in the UPC indicate the bottle likely holds the coveted whiskey from National Distillers.
