Old Taylor Bottled in Bond Bourbon Quart from 1917 stands as a rare survivor of America’s Prohibition era. Distilled before the Volstead Act and aged for an impressive 16 years, this bourbon was bottled during a time when whiskey could only be legally sold for medicinal purposes. The packaging prominently displays “The American Medicinal Spirits Company,” a nod to its unique legal status. Its “Bottled in Bond” designation guarantees it was produced under strict government supervision at 100 proof, reflecting the standards set by the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. The bottle’s original tax stamp and period labeling capture the era’s historical significance, offering a glimpse into a pivotal chapter in American whiskey history. For collectors, this Old Taylor release represents not just a remarkable whiskey, but a tangible piece of the Prohibition story—an era when spirits like this were both rare and highly prized.
