Here are two pre-Prohibition whiskeys from Hazeltine & Perkins Drug Co. of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
I cannot find anything on the Canadian Pure Finest Malt, but the Canmalt was patented in 1907.
Just some neat semi-locals.
What does the gold label say? Bottled expressly for medicinal purposes and what else? Can't read the rest.
Did Canada have prohibition, too? Or were these for sale in USA?
Oh - it's bottled in MI. BUt what does it say?
The goldish label gives the typical statement found on early 1900s alcohol bottles: Pure and Without Drugs or Poison. It also states that the bottle is not genuine without the signature of the Hazeltine & Perkins Drug Co.
H. & P. D. Co. was one of Michigan's largest drug companies back in the late 1800s and 1900s. As my description says, they were in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
You don't see many malt whiskey bottles from Canada. Nice bottles.
Only one Distillery in Canada now that makes a malt whisky. They have to call it Canadian Whisky (not Scotch Whisky )
Sounds like you need to try some.
Ive tried it and visited the distillery the use bourbon barrels from Kansas to age the malt in for at least 4 years
lol only here
