Our family, the great grandchildern (5), all inherited (1) gallon of "Belmont Bourbon Wiskey". We had to try it and it is the best bourbon I have ever tasted X a million! Under the screw off cap/cork was a report of when and how it was distilled. It says, "Old fashioned little tub handmade sourmash process. Reduced with distilled water to 100 proof and bottled in its natural condition of absolute purity. Distilled the 4th of July 1899, with fresh branch spring water". The bottle is a gallon jug with the finger hole loop at the top of the jug. The label says, "Belmont Distillery Co. Inc." "18 Summers Old 18". I found that it is "Registered Distillery #412, 5th District of Louisville Kentucky". It is some what cloudy with a dark maroon color. I drink it or I should say kiis it out of a big sniffter glass. The legs on the inside of the glass are many, thick and slow running down the glass. Anybody thristy yet? I was not for opening it up because of potential value. It was my wifes Great Grandfather. She loves good sipping bourbon as much as I do and said she would never sell it anyway. I am glad we opened it up.
This posting was not to bragg or torture. I just thought all of our "Bourbon Brothers and Sister" out there would like to hear about it. Any information or comments about this incredible bourbon are much appreciated.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Bourbon Brother
