So I was dredging and ran across this pretty deep down.
It says "national distillers" and from what I can tell its pretty old.
I've tried to search for a similar top but without success.
If anyone has more info on this as to its age/origin I'd very much appreciate it. image.webp
 

Hello Green,

Welcome and thanks for the top view. Will you show us the full bottle, please?

"The biggest whiskey company was the National Distillers Products Company, a reputable company formed in the 1920s that was an indirect offshoot of the disreputable Whiskey Trust of the late nineteenth century. In 1933, National owned approximately 50 percent of all of the whiskey in America along with a number of notable distilleries such as the Wathen Distillery (Old Grand-Dad, Old Taylor and Old Crow), the Overholt Distillery (Old Overholt) and three other distilleries that produced straight whiskey. The company was acquired by the Jim Beam Brands Company in the 1980s." The Reawakening of the American Whiskey Business - ProhibitionRepeal.com
