Pickup currently not available
Condition notes: Some label creases
Distilled in Pekin, Illinois, before the American Distilling Company permanently silenced its historic stills around 1980, this vintage export bottling captures a lost chapter of mid-century whiskey history. Bearing the coveted Japanese 'Tokkyu' (Special Grade) tax stamp, this 80-proof straight bourbon delivers easy-sipping corn sweetness and subtle vanilla oak. It serves as both an intriguing, pourable time capsule and a standout artifact for vintage bourbon collectors.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Inviting aromas of sweet creamed corn, vanilla wafers, and softened butterscotch mingle with aged parchment, dried hay, and a light touch of toasted cedar.
Palate: Gentle and easy-drinking at 80 proof, featuring flavors of light honey, caramel chews, yellow apple, and sweet cornbread backed by delicate cinnamon and dusty oak.
Finish: Clean and mellow with lingering notes of vanilla bean, subtle barrel char, and sweet grain.
