I was amazed that they had their own newspaper, and yes, they were stuffed with liqour ads ! It kind of started putting the magnitude of their involvement in Western liqour dealings and their associated bottles into perspective for me.<br /><br />I have never found nor seen a tooled Renz's Bitters. I would imagine the bitters bottles were labeled slicks in the later yrs. Renz did make two different embossed clear fifths in the 90s (both are Rare), one of which may have contained the Blackberry Brandy, as I don't recall seeing ads for the Bonanza Bourbon in later yrs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
