This is fascinating piece of Prohibition-era history. The Dowling Brothers – Edward, John and Michael – operated a distillery in rural Mercer County, Kentucky, where this whiskey was distilled in 1916. After the onset of Prohibition, distilleries like Dowling Bros. were not only barred from making or selling whiskey, but were forced to ship their existing barrels to one of the few distilleries allowed to continue selling whiskey for medicinal purposes, in this case A.Ph. Stitzel in Louisville (which would become Stitzel-Weller after Prohibition ended). There the whiskey remained in a warehouse, under tight government supervision, for nine years, until it was bottled in 1929.
