I recently came into possession of this bottle of Jay Vee bourbon, distilled and bottled in 1977. All the information I have on it beyond that is that it was a “private store label bourbon.” Does anyone have any other information about this? My research efforts aren’t finding anything. Thanks!

I’d welcome thoughts on the Heaven Hill Grain to Glass series. Found a package of the 3 for a reasonable price. I like the higher proof possibility. MSRP is +/- $100 for each. Are they a burnt that price?
First let me say how I excited I was for this bourbon. If I could only chose one bourbon for my collection, it would be the Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. What would be better than a Double Oaked?
