A bottle of Jim Beam 8 Year Old 109 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey specially selected for Gus Gay. We estimate this was bottled in the late 1940s to 1950s.
This bottle comes from the collection of Richard Crobar, owner of The Crobar in London’s Soho for 20 years until its closure during Covid. In storage since then, Richard has decided it's time to put the collection up for sale. He says: ‘If you end up owning one or more of them, I hope they give you as much pleasure as they have given me over the years.’
Please see images and note low fill level and label condition. Note damage to closure and general wear.
