Take a look at this rare beauty. Bottled in 1971, distilled in the 1950’s, in Peoria, Illinois, which was once the whisky capital of the USA. During the mid-1800’s, Peoria held 22 distilleries and tons of breweries. Together, they produced the highest amount of internal revenue tax (excise) on alcohol of any single revenue district in the USA. Peoria was also one of the major bootlegging areas during Prohibition and home to famous mobsters, like the Shelton brothers. This 15-year-old Plenty Straight Bourbon Whiskey bottle was imported into Germany by ETRO whisky-imports, that in turn worked for MacGregor Scott & CC in London. As itt reads on the back label: ‘A delicacy, a Whiskey, which we don’t have every day. A champion – a master – in the art to burn a good Whiskey and besides a carefull storage of fifteen years in barrels (oak) give the Whiskey a complete age of maturity and a marvellons-mildness’.
