1867 Dated Sour Mash Barrel - Chapin & Gore, Chicago - Hawley Glass Co, PA
A nice example of this barrel-shaped whiskey. It catches any light on the shelf and hogs attention with it's splashy orangeness. It has many other things going for it too - the 1867 sour mash embossing is on a raised shield shape, plus shoulder and base embossing. The top has inside threading but I've never seen this with an original stopper.
