Anyone know anything about this bottle? Judging from the tax sticker it's older  but can't tell from the bottom. The tax strip had KY 414 (BF) but label is dsp

A bit of info:  The Maryland Comptroller, Louis Goldstein served from 1959. - 1998, so that narrows it down to only a 39 year window…😂.

 

UPC on back?

I want to say the tax strips on the top stopped around 1985.

Also B-F switched from DSP 414 to DSP 354 in what, early 1990s?

I remember that particular label when I was in high school, so my educated guess is your bottle if from mid 1980s or a little earlier.

Metric measure means after 1980, so I'll narrow it 1980 - 1985. 😉

Looks like you are correct. It has 85 on bottom. Why does the bottle say 354 but tax strip 414?

Probably distilled at DSP KY 354, and  bottled at DSP KY 414.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I did have to go grab the bottle to double check just in case.😉
