Just seeing if anyone would have any additional information on this bottle of bourbon I've recently obtained. It is O.F.C. Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey bottled for The Geo. T. Stagg Company. Made in the spring of 1916 and bottled in the spring of 1926. Thank you all

What would you like to know? First impression is Prohibition era whisky bottled from Schenley stock at a consolidation warehouse. It could have been made at the Stagg distillery or another one. Do you plan to drink it?

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)

Bottled then, labeled later?

What kind of value would you guys place on this bottle?

Hard to say. Is it a pint?

Sorry for abandoning this post but yes it is a pint.

Old fired copper. They used copper stills then.
