Description

A miniature bottle of Old Fitzgerald Original Sour Mash Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. This was distilled, aged and bottled at the Stitzel-Weller distillery, we estimate in the 1960s.

Please note, the front label states this bottle is 86 Proof (43% ABV), and the back label states it is 100 Proof (50% ABV). Whisky.Auction cannot confirm which of these figures is correct.

This lot comes from the extensive collection of a Merseyside collector who began his hobby with bottles bought for guests as digestifs at private dinner parties in the early 1970s. His interest led to him advertising in the UK national newspapers, and buying and selling bottles as far afield as Australia, America and Ireland, with his last significant addition being a collection he purchased from Stoke On Trent in 1984.

This Old Fitzgerald Original Sour Mash sold at our online auction for £60
