    Front label (top)

    Presidents Choice for a Distinguished Gentleman (circles the circumference of the label)
    This whiskey was selected by GEO Garvin Brown, President of Brown-Forman Distillers Corporation
    For its perfect balance and true Kentucky bourbon flavor and set aside as the personal barrel of

    Villa Harrah (centered in label)

    Front label (bottom)

    This is a custom distillation carefully aged for eight years in barrel # 1095082. This rare bourbon was bottled by direction of the president at actual barrel proof 115.9

    Rear label

    Presidents Choice for a Distinguished Gentleman (circles the circumference of the label)
    Distilled and bottled by Brown-Forman Distilleries Corp. at Louisville in Kentucky.
    Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey 115.9 proof, this whiskey is eight years old.

    Bottle markings and stamp information

    Both bottles bear the original tax stamp label although bottle # 2 is missing approximately 1.5 inches from the bottom of the label partially omitting the tax stamp number.

    Tax stamp number 224616132 (assuming the State of Kentucky)

    Embossed on the glass just below the neck of the bottle:
    FEDERAL LAW FORBIDS SALE OR RE-USE OF THIS BOTLE

    This embossing indicates the bottle was made between 1932-1964
    Additional research appears to indicate the “Presidents Choice for a Distinguished Gentleman” (circles the circumference of the label) did not become a consumer brand until 1968. Prior to that, it seems to have been a special bottling for distillery workers and acquaintances.

    Embossed on the bottom front of the bottle:
    4/5 OF A QUART

    Embossed on the bottom of the bottle:
    60 D10 62

      Those bottles are very cool. I've never seen them before.
