Master's Rare

[KSB66]

Can anyone tell me from which this distillery this comes from.

[squire]

JW Dant opened his first distillery in 1836 so my guess is a Dant product and with a Louisville address perhaps the J. P. Dant company but that conjecture is based on the scant info on the label as I have no idea of the date of the bottle.

[squire]

A similar bottle if offered at the MastersofMalt auction website stating it's from the 1970s but yours has a tax stamp and that one doesn't.

Thanks, I thought Chuck Cowdery did an article on this one once but i can't find it on the net anymore.

The one on MoM also has a tax stamp. The one on my bottle only says Export and a number.

[squire]

You're right, I didn't catch that the first time. My eyesight ain't what it was though I can still recognize a pretty girl.

[squire]

Ah, an export label, come to think of it the bottle does have a 70s look about it. Schenley owned the JW Dant label in the 1970s but I'm still pulling for the JP Dant distillery in Louisville, just cause.

Got a tip and found a Glenmore timeline in which this was mentioned

Glenmore introduces "Master's Rare" Kentucky Straight Bourbon at 90.9 proof and claiming "since 1836", the Dant heritage dates

A Glenmore/Yellowstone connection occurred to me also, particularly due to the Louisville address, well, there you have it.

So how does it taste? If it's 70s Yellowstone stuff it should be pretty good.
