Obviously the bottling can't be earlier than 1936, but may be much later.<br /><br />The numbers embossed on the bottom of the bottle simply identify the bottle mold used to the bottle maker. Sometimes they can help you date the whiskey if a date is clearly present, but just like the above, all it really gets you is the earliest possible date, not the actual date. I hope this is helpful.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-7959776326730360392011-12-08T16:32:59.759-06:002011-12-08T16:32:59.759-06:00I have a miniature Virginia Gentleman bourbon bott...I have a miniature Virginia Gentleman bourbon bottle and the label says copyright 1936.

They get white dog from Buffalo Trace, distill it again in Virginia, and age the whiskey in Virginia.Chuck Cowderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191121480961526039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-16271140015989588082011-05-11T23:26:16.156-05:002011-05-11T23:26:16.156-05:00Don't have a bottle in front of me, but I beli...Don't have a bottle in front of me, but I believe that the labels on Virginia Gentleman read, "Distilled in Kentucky and re-distilled in Virginia" I'll have to look again when I get to my store tomorrow.Crashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269599289882922109noreply@blogger.com
