Rebel Yell Mississippi Repeal Commemorative, quart, 1966

A special bottling to commemorate the repeal of Prohibition in the state of Mississippi in 1966. Reportedly there were only 200 bottles released, and very few remaining intact. Mississippi was the last state to repeal Prohibition. This bottling was part of the first subsequent bourbon release.

Very Xtra Old Fitzgerald 10yr, 1957-1967

The 10-year old version was called Very Xtra Old Fitzgerald. This one came in the nice gift box, which stained the label red over the decades. I’ve been told the gift boxes were a separate purchase from the bottle, which is it seems random as to why some bottles have them and others don’t.

Very Very Old Fitzgerald 18yr 121pf “Blackhawk” 1951-1969

One of the rarest Very Old Fitzgerald bottlings, this was bottled at 121 barrel proof and 18 years old especially for the Wirtz family of Chicago. The Wirtzes owned (and still do) the Chicago Blackhawks and also run the largest liquor distribution company in the area. These bottles weren’t sold to the public, but rather were given to friends and business associates of the Wirtz family.

Old Forester Bonded Decanter, 4/5qt, 1964-1969

The 1969 was the last Holiday Decanter produced by Old Forester. It was designed by industrial art icon Raymond Loewy.

Most of the Old Forester decanters had hollow caps, so if the bottle was inverted the caps would fill with whiskey, as you can see in the last pic here.

Weller Special Reserve 90pf Decanter, Pint – 1960s/70s

This bottle has no date code on the bottom. All that can be determined is that it was produced between 1964 and 1977, after Stitzel-Weller started producing whiskey below 100 proof, and prior to the next change in the tax strip type. If anyone has any further information on this bottle please email us!

Wild Turkey 8yr, 4/5qt, New York, 1970

Wild Turkey 8 year, 101 proof was the staple of the line for decades. Unlike many brands, Wild Turkey kept the age statement and higher proof for a long time, which led to its perception of high quality. The ages started to drop in the 1990s, and the proofs have only recently started to go down.

This is one of the rare Very Very Old Fitzgeralds that’s older than 12 years. I’ve seen some 14, 15, and 18 year bottles, but they were usually bottles done for special clients. A few of them were even bottled at 121 proof, although this one is a 100 proof bonded version.
