Thanks for the comment!
The government ...Hey Noel. Thanks for the comment!<br /><br />The government warnings weren't required until 1989, and the switch over from quarts to liters didn't begin until 1980. So it's likely from between those years.<br /><br />I'm glad your bottle got better with time. From what I remember mine went the opposite direction. Yours likely had more National Distillers juice in it than mine did, FWIW.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-53949851751307520202018-01-06T02:08:55.235-05:002018-01-06T02:08:55.235-05:00I just opened one of my supposedly 1987 Bottlings ...I just opened one of my supposedly 1987 Bottlings based on bottle stamp. Label, no warnings and imperial measurement makes me think it is more early 80’s. Perhaps I am misreading something but it has an ND fake tax strip though. My tasting notes very similar. The VOC diminishes with time open (now two months) but I really wish I had an 86 proof. There is a little flavor in there but not much!
