Old Crow 100 Proof 1913

Distilled Spring 1913, bottled Fall 1927, ullage: mid shoulder

Up until Prohibition, Old Crow was among the most renowned names in Kentucky bourbon, respected as far as London and Paris as the pinnacle of American whiskey. Though it traces its roots to an innovative Scotsman named James Crow, who created the brand – and many of the techniques that shaped modern bourbon – in the 1830s, the Old Crow name came into its own during the Gilded Age, when it was produced at the Hermitage distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. This bottle represents one of the last times that Hermitage-made whiskey went up for sale; Prohibition shut its doors, and they never reopened. Today Old Crow is a bottom-shelf whiskey, a shadow of its former self, and this bottle is a testament to how glorious that former self really was.
