Dougherty's Private Stock 1916 Bottled in Bond 14 Year Old Rye Pint / Prohibition Era Bottling
This is a fascinating piece of American whiskey history. A Prohibiton era "medicinal" bourbon, aged 14 summers in bond by J.A. Dougherty's Sons Inc. at their distillery in Pennsylvania.
The J.A. Dougherty's Sons' parent company, Trainer & Co was one of the few given licenses to continue bottling whiskey during the prohibition era, which had banned the sale and production of recreational alcohol in 1920. Those with a license to bottle were permitted to do so soley for the medicinal and baking purposes. The whiskey needed to have been distilled prior to 1920, so the company also bought up the stocks of their neighbouring distillery's such as Highspire, where this was produced.
