Of course labels don't provide definitive proof, as they could've been relabeled several times, for multiple purposes, or decades later. However, one need look no further than some of the very obvious embossed sixths like the Livingston's Blackberry Brandy, Chevalier's Ginger Brandy, Ratafia Damiana (Bitters), Chalmers Catawba Wine Bitters, etc. And how about the contents that were put into the Evan's & O'Brien sixths? All the while, others are more straightforward like the Jockey Club Whiskey.<br /><br />It seems the sixth was as desirable back then for its utility, as they are admired now for their beauty :)J.F.

If it's green, has swirling striations, or is exceptionally crude, I'll double that amount! And if I'm not interested, perhaps Max or Andrew will also want to buy it?!?!<br /><br />I'm simply looking for 1 or 2 nice examples. Max & Andrew: My offer extends you guys as well if you have any duplicate examples. Thanks!<br /><br />So bring what you have to the show and we can have a real star-base western whiskey party!<br /><br />~LanceJ.F.
