The Old Taylor Bottled in Bond Bourbon Quart from 1917 stands as a remarkable relic of American whiskey history. Produced during a turbulent era marked by the onset of Prohibition, this bottle was released under government supervision, signified by its Bottled in Bond label and 100 proof strength. The distinctive packaging highlights its designation as “The American Medicinal Spirits Company,” reflecting its legal status for medicinal use during Prohibition. With a 16-year age statement and the original tax strip still intact, this bottle offers a rare glimpse into early 20th-century bourbon production and distribution. The quart size and period-specific graphics further underscore its significance as a collector’s piece, representing the resilience and adaptation of distillers faced with sweeping national change. Owning this bottle is akin to holding a piece of the era’s history, where authenticity and heritage were paramount.
