’
s Original Sour Mash Whiskey.
"
Michter's Distillery, is a non-operating distillery facility that was, at the end of the twentieth century, believed to be the oldest remaining such building in the United States. The distillery closed in 1989.
The complex, located near Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania, represented the transformation of whiskey distilling from an agricultural enterprise into a large-scale industry. The surviving still house, warehouse, and jug house date from about 1840, but the site has a documented history of spirit production since 1753. [It] was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1980. The facility was America's smallest commercial distiller at the time of its 1989 closure.” [adapted from wikipedia.org]
The display consists of a carved solid wooden “barrel” featuring the Michter’s logo and a circular socket on top. A bottle of Michter’s liquor could be inserted for display purposes. These barrels were apparently proprietary and not sold to the public. Included with the barrel is an empty, original 750 ml Michter’s Whiskey bottle. The barrel is in Very Good vintage condition, dusty, undamaged, with strong graphics. The bottle was obviously a standard specimen and shows signs of use—minor stains, handling, etc., but they are the real thing.
