Old Charter 7 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon 1970

An old 1070 bottling of Old Charter, produced by Schenley at Bernheim distillery.

Bernheim is a historic Kentucky distillery. It was established by the Bernheim Brothers in the late 19th century, before passing into the hands of the Schenley company following the repeal of Prohibition. When Schenley were bought over by United Distillers in 1987, the distillery was rebuilt as the new owners looked to consolidate their production to a single facility. When United Distillers became Diageo in 1997, the new parent company were interested in bourbon, and sold the distillery to Heaven Hill.

The Old Charter brand was sold to the Sazerac company at the same time, who produce it at Buffalo Trace today.
