A Braddock Maryland whiskey labeled as pure unadulterated rye asserts its status as the premier American whiskey yet states it is not bottled in bond. The bold claim targets buyers by promising authenticity while disclaiming a standard tax and regulation label.
Marketed as 95 proof though government 100 proof bottled in bond standards. Internal Revenue stamps appear on every barrel signifying strength and quality. Located at 109 N. 3rd Street Braddock Maryland.
A 1905 Telegram report explains how tax officers may seize bottled in bond whiskies if contents differ from stamped proof after opening. It notes that unopened bottles found short on proof at seizure shift blame to the bottler, not the retailer, and urges retailers to contact distillers to seek reimbursement.
Advertisement notes selling whiskey samples from out of town salesmen, promises genuine goods drawn from barrels at home, bottles daily direct from barrels and distiller, and urges customers to buy holiday and medicinal liquors locally with in-store drawing.
