Warehouse reciepts at the Filson
Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2007 11:19 am
The post on the Collector's forum made me think of these warehouse receipts in the Filson collection and I thought I would post them here now. I find them interesting because of the low entry proofs for the barrels.
1942)H E Pogue Distillery Co. - Maysville, Ky. 104 proof
(1943)Bernheim Distilling Co. - Louisville, Ky. 101 proof
(1947)Geo. T. Stagg Company - Frankfort, Ky. 105 proof
(1947) The Melvale Distilling Co. (formerly the Dowling Distillers, Inc) - Burgin, Ky. 101 proof
(1941) Dowling Bros. Distilling Co. - Bugin, Ky. 101 proof
(1943)Logansport Distilling Co., Inc. - Logansport, Pa. 101 proof
(1942)Logansport Distilling Co., Inc. - Logansport, Pa. 162 proof
(1942)Blue Ribbon Distilleries Co. - Carrolton, Ky. 103 proof
(1944)Fairfield Distillery - Bardstown, Ky. 101 proof
The Logansport receipt at 162 proof was obviously some aged spirit for a blend. Schenley had many blends in its portfolio and made a lot of whiskey just to blend.
