Buffalo Trace Distillery Prohibition Collection 375ml x 5

Product Description

A Buffalo Trace Distillery collection consisting of five 375ml bottles including Three Fathers, Old Stagg, Spiritus Frumenti, Walnut Hill and Golden Wedding. Three Feathers Bottled in Bond Bourbon 375ml -- 50% Alc. By Vol. The earliest reference to Three Feathers indicates it was first made in 1812. Originally advertised as a luxurious rye whiskey, it would later become a bonded whiskey and then a blended whiskey. The three ostrich feathers were chosen as a logo as they were synonymous with royalty in the 1800s; they would later represent the three people involved in creating the Three Feathers blend. Old Stagg Uncut and Unfiltered Whiskey 375ml -- 66.2% Alc. By Vol. Old Stagg would become the flagship whiskey brand for the George T. Stagg distillery at the tail end of Prohibition, taking the place of O.F.C. bourbon. Made to honor George T. Stagg, who owned and operated the distillery in the late 1800s, the brand would be used in severa; ads and sales materials in the years after Prohibition. Today, the brand lives on as Stagg and George T. Stagg, both barrel proof whiskeys that have their roots in this Prohibition era brand. Spiritus Frumenti Whiskey 375ml -- 55% Alc. By Vol. In the 1800s American apothecaries used "Spiritus Frumenti" to track whiskey in their ledgers. Latin for "Spirit of the Grain" it would later be used as a generic name for medicinal whiskey during Prohibition. Spiritus Frumenti was produced by the George T. Stagg Distillery and other distilleries throughout the 1920s creating many iterations of Spiritus Frumenti. Walnut Hill Whiskey 375ml -- 45% Alc. By Vol. During Prohibition, the George T. Stagg Distillery often bottled brands, like Walnut Hill, for other companies. Our records show the President of the George T. Stagg Distillery, Albert Blanton (who would later have the world's first single barrel bourbon named after him), overseeing the production of this brand. Notes from his correspondence with the United States Patent Office in December 1932 show his direct responsibility over the bottling of Walnut Hill. Golden Wedding Rye Whiskey 375ml -- 53.5% Alc. By Vol. Trademarks for Golden Wedding Date all the way back to 1869. During Prohibition, Schenley Distilling Corporation purchased the Joseph S. Finch distillery, along with the Golden Wedding brand. The brand's bottling was split between Schenley's Pennsylvania distillery and the George T. Stagg Distillery. In the late 1940s, the brand was moved to Schenley's distillery in Canada and would become a Canadian whiskey before it ceased to exist in the late 20th century.
