OUR UNIQUE COLLECTION FEATURES WHISKEY, BOURBON, AND RYE BRANDS

FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE, INCLUDING MORE THAN 200 VINTAGE AMERICAN

WHISKEYS CURATED BY RENOWNED WHISKEY AUTHOR FRED MINNICK.

VINTAGE WHISKEY LIBRARY

1800SThroughout the 1800s, whiskey dominated the news and medicine. You’d find whiskey invading White House and causing scandals. President Grant’s reelection campaign was, in part, paid for by whiskey distillers defrauding the government and bribing politicians so they wouldn’t have to pay as much in taxes. It also was the subject of great political debate, from temperance women trying to ban it to whiskey distillers trying to protect it, while doctors prescribed bourbon for everything from gout to cancer. The whiskeys from this era did not have the same consumer protection as they do today. In some cases, the whiskey rectifiers added acids and unpalatable materials that would be banned by today’s regulations. These whiskeys were tested, but taste at your own risk.

Important legislation from this era: Bottled in Bond Act of 1897. This was the first consumer protec-tion legislation for whiskey and is still seen on bottles today.

CEDAR BROOK, BOTTLED 1892U.S. President: Benjamin HarrisonAbout: Cedar Brook was a popular Anderson County brand made at the McBrayer Distillery. This brand won the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of 1876. This particular bottle is believed to have been a contract produced product for a grocer named James Levy & Bro. in Cincinnati.

1900-1919At the turn of the century, American whiskey lacked the trust of the nation. Many medicinal whiskey marketers oversold whiskey’s benefits. Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey told people its whiskey cured just about everything, even ugliness. Furthermore, many Americans compared whiskey to the devil, leading to a sweeping regulations that ended alcohol altogether.

Important legislation: Pure Food & Drug Act changed the medicinal whiskey claims, but did not define bourbon, which President Howard Taft did in the Taft Decision in late 1909. But the worst piece of legislation in American history—Prohibition—passed in 1919.

FORTUNA GLENCOE 17 YEAR OLDFortuna BourbonDistilled 1916, bottled 1933: 17 years old, 100 proofDistilled by Glencoe Distillery Co, IncLouisville, KY

With his brother Louis, in 1878, German immigrant Philip Hollenbach started the company Hollenbach Bros., a wholesale liquor company in downtown Louisville. In less than a decade, the brothers expanded into the distilling business, taking over the Glencoe Distillery, with Fortuna becoming their flagship product. They worked with the famous Stitzel family to create bourbon, but their facilities were disman-tled during Prohibition and this bottle of Fortuna would be one of the last remaining bottles a Hollen-bach approved. In a book, Hollenbach cited a drinking poem from his beloved Rhine area in Germany:

“DRINK TO THE RHINE! AND EVERY COMING MORROW

BE MIRTH AND MUSIC THINE!

AND WHEN WE MEET A CHILD OF CARE AND SORROW,

WE’LL SEND THEM TO THE RHINE.”

OLD DARLING 1911 DISTILLED, BOTTLED 1919Bottled just before Prohibition went into effect, this Old Darling would have sold for about 90 cents and was considered a “value” brand, of sorts, for the time.

1919: 8 YEARS, 100 PROOFDarling Distillery, Prestonville, Ky.

OVERHOLT RYE WHISKEY1908

OVERHOLT RYE WHISKEY1909

These Overholt bottles came from the estate of Richard Mellon Scaife, which sold through the famous auction house, Christies. These are their notes at the time of the sale: Throughout his long and storied life, Richard Mellon Scaife remained both iconoclastic and enigmatic. Celebrated for his philanthropic largesse, he supported causes ranging from environmental conserva-tion, political thought, free speech and the fine arts. Scaife’s private collection, however, paints a more intimate portrait of a fun-loving man who found inspiration in whimsy and charm; a collector with a keen eye and an adventurous spirit.

This extraordinary cache of whiskey, which forms part of The Collection of Richard Mellon Scaife provides a singular glimpse into a prominent and influential American figure.

Old Overholt is one of the oldest distilleries in America that is still running today. Abraham Overholt began distilling his Rye Whiskey in 1810, and by 1812 had established a commercial distillery in West Overton, Pennsylvania where he produced Old Farm Pure Rye Whiskey. In 1860, Jacob Overholt, Abraham’s son and his cousin Henry Overholt built a second distillery in nearby Broad Ford, and it was here that the first Rye whiskey bearing the Overholt brand was distilled.

Old Overholt is a Straight Rye Whiskey, aged at least four years, but in the case of these older exam-ples which were distilled before the commencement of prohibition, it is likely that the whiskey spent much longer in cask, leading to a richer style of whiskey.

Old Overholt is one of the most consistent styles of whiskey in America, and in the minds of many, was one of the most characterful and elegant Rye whiskies that were distilled at the beginning of the 20th century. The whiskey was distilled in a large, wooden three chamber still (a hybrid between a pot and column still) from a mash bill of rye and barley malt and aged in heated warehouses.

We are delighted to offer this rare collection of multiple original wooden cases of ‘Overholt’ Rye Whis-key, it is without doubt the most important collection of Pre-Prohibition whiskey Christie’s have ever sold. The whiskey comes from the private collection of Richard Mellon Scaife, whose ancestor Andrew Mellon, once owned a share in Old Overholt distillery. The whiskey was stored in private cellars for the entirety of its life. The bottles are all one quart sized and presented in original wooden cases (banded before Specialists’ inspection). This whiskey was probably bottled after 10-14 years in oak barrel, possibly in 1919 as a hedge against Prohibition (it was perhaps re-bottled later). It was not bottled for commercial purposes: the vintage dating on bottle along with the fact that there is no other detail relating to ABV indicates this was bottled for the family.

Tasting Notes, David Wondrich 09/08/2015Nose: notes of cedar, resin and allspice. More spice character than grain; Christmassy preserved, sweet spices. Very bright and clean. Palate: Initial notes of cedar and sweet spice consistent with the nose, followed by pleasant waves of sweet grain character. Warm, dry and very long finish, not too wood-dominated, with a good deal of grain developing late. Very clean and extremely rich for an American rye whiskey. A very good whiskey.

PROHIBITIONProhibition. Ugh. Thirteen miserable years of no drinking, right? Well, not exactly. During this dry season from 1920 to 1933, you could go to your doctor and get a prescription for medicinal whiskey. But not all states allowed this. If you were sick in Indiana and West Virginia—two bone dry states—you saw a doctor in a neighboring state to help with that horrible sickness to get your pint of whiskey. Or you called a bootlegger, because—cough, cough—you were really sick.Important legislation: Distillers, doctors and druggists lobbied Congress for fewer medicinal whiskey restrictions. It was tough sledding, though. Dry politicians still argued whiskey was the devil, even if you were sick.

Before the 1964 Congressional Declaration making bourbon a unique product of the United States, other countries made and marketed bourbon, including Canada.

1934-1950After Prohibition, investment rushed into bourbon unlike anytime before. But then World War II haunted whiskey production: The government required distillers to cease distilling operations unless they were willing to distill for the war effort. Major distilling houses made industrial alcohol that would be used to manufacture parachutes, jeeps, rubber, etc. Bourbon distillers helped defeat the Nazis.Important legislation: During this period, the U.S. government set prices for American whiskey to ensure distillers didn’t gauge during the non-distilling periods, which ended with the end of World War II.

1951-1964After World War II, bourbon faced worldwide tariffs that thwarted its international growth. Throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, distillers and their lobbyists worked with the government officials to create an historic Congressional Declaration that made bourbon a unique product of the United States. This era became the backbone of why we call bourbon America’s Spirit.

Important legislation: In May 1964, Congress declared bourbon a unique product of the United States. Also, in this era, the Treasury changed the legal minimum barrel-entry proof from 110 proof to 125 proof.

Fred Minnick told BBC that these are the greatest bourbons he’s ever tasted. But it should be noted that these are extremely inconsistent. The decanters’ cork seal were not very effective for long-term storage; thus, some evaporated at high rates and changed the flavor.

1965-1971Vodka. In the late 1950s, vodka didn’t even have a federal definition. Yet, it was gangbusters, with then-new age drinkers wanting martinis “shaken, but not stirred.” They no longer wanted what their parents drank—bourbon. The rise of white spirits was the death of bourbon. By 1972, many distilleries had closed with most pointing toward vodka’s growth as the reason why. Important legislation: As vodka acquired bourbon consumers, distillers created a new category of whiskey called “Light Whiskey,” which was distilled at higher proofs and aged in used barrels to have a more neutral flavor. The category failed miserably.

1972-2000This period of American whiskey is a story of perseverance. Throughout the 1970s, many heritage distillers sold or went out of business. The spirit limped into the 1980s, losing market share every day to vodka. But Smirnoff knew not of the greatness in whiskey. Wild Turkey’s Jimmy Russell, George T. Stagg’s Elmer T. Lee (now Buffalo Trace), Brown-Forman’s Lincoln Henderson, Jim Beam’s Booker Noe, Old Fitzgerald’s Edwin Foote and Heaven Hill’s Parker Beam never lost the passion of making great bourbon. Lee and Noe pioneered the Single Barrel and Small Batch techniques respectively and boots-on-the-ground sold these great new products throughout the country, as international markets such as Japan and Australia took a liking to bourbon. This is the period bourbon got its grove back.

Important legislation: In the early 1980s, President Regan’s administration attempted to deregulate alcohol industry. After Prohibition, government agents were on site at all distilleries and kept the facilities under lock and key. While Regan’s deregulation attempt failed, they abolished the ATF on-site agents and eliminated tax strips.
