Schenley Champion 8YO Indiana Straight Bourbon Whiskey - Distilled 1964 / Bottled 1972 (75cl, 43%)

This Schenley Champion is an eight year old Indiana straight bourbon, distilled in 1964 and bottled in 1972. It is bottled at 43% ABV in a 75cl bottle. The Schenley company was organised in 1920 by Louis Rosenstiel as the Cincinnati Distributing Corp. In the same year he acquired the Joseph S. Finch distillery in Pennsylvania along with its Golden Wedding brand, which became one of Schenley's flagship labels. Brands such as I.W. Harper and Cream of Kentucky later helped the company dominate much of the American whiskey market for four decades.
