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.
