It's interesting that being bottled in 1926 it is not labeled as medicinal as that was the middle of prohibition. It says re-bottled for the Geo. T Stagg company, most likely re-bottled after the repeal in 1933? I'm just trying to make sense of it's history. I don't plan on drinking it though. I reached out to the CEO of Buffalo Trace and this is what he said:
Some thoughts:
- Whiskey appears to have been distilled by us
- Schenley did not acquire our distillery until 1929, so the face label is at odds with the strip stamp date
- The glass bottle is lovely
- The star on the neck would appear to be from a much later period (1950s)
