Old Crow is one of the oldest and most iconic bourbon brands in the world. It was first produced in 1835 by Dr. James Crow, a Kentucky pharmacist. Old Crow quickly became one of the most popular bourbons in the United States, and it remained popular throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.
National Distillers is one of the most sought after "vintage" producers. Known for it's beautiful flavors of baking spices, fresh cookies and cake. The old crow traveler bottles were produced for "business men" who traveled and flew on planes, created with a bottle mold that was intended to fit inside a suit jacket. Jim beam acquired all national distillers brands in 1987, eventually running out of their distillate in the early 90s. This old crow is nothing like what you can find today.
The old crow traveler bottling was produced by the old crow distillery which at the time was part of the national distillers corporation portfolio. This particular bottling was made for the “traveling business man” in the 1960s and 70s
Old Crow bourbon bottles from the 1970s were designed to be flat for a few reasons:
- Portability: Flat bottles are easier to pack and carry than traditional round bottles, making them ideal for travel.
- Shelf space: Flat bottles take up less space on store shelves, which is beneficial for retailers.
- Uniqueness: Flat bottles were a unique and eye-catching design at the time, which helped Old Crow stand out from other bourbon brands.
In addition to these reasons, some people believe that flat bottles actually help to improve the flavor of bourbon. This is because the flatter shape of the bottle increases the surface area of the whiskey that is exposed to the air, which can help to mellow out the flavor.
However, there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. Some whiskey experts believe that the flavor of whiskey is more affected by the type of cask it is aged in and the length of time it is aged for than by the shape of the bottle.
Ultimately, whether or not you believe that a flat bottle affects the flavor of bourbon is a matter of personal preference. But there is no doubt that flat Old Crow bottles from the 1970s are unique and collectible items.
