Dant “Crown Jewel” Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey advertising display bottle.Measuring approximately 24 inches tall, this impressive amber glass bottle was produced as a promotional display for a liquor store, tavern, back bar, or distributor showroom rather than as an ordinary retail whiskey bottle.The bottle retains its large paper label advertising J.W. Dant Genuine Sour Mash Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Bottled in Bond at 100 Proof. The shoulder has a separate “Bottled in Bond—Under U.S. Government Supervision” label, while “Crown Jewel” is embossed prominently around the glass. The label identifies The Dant Distillery Company of Dant/Gethsemane, Nelson County, Kentucky. An oversized period stopper is also included.The graphics, construction, and distillery information suggest a mid-20th-century date, likely around the late 1940s to early 1950s. No exact production date is marked, so the dating is approximate.Condition:
Vintage used condition with considerable age-related character. The glass presents well, with surface dust, scuffing, and normal wear. The original paper labels remain substantially complete but show spotting, stains, abrasions, small tears, edge wear, and areas of surface loss. The stopper has discoloration and wear from age. Please enlarge and examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.Approximate height: 24 inches.This is being sold solely as an empty collectible advertising display. No consumable contents are represented or included.An uncommon and visually striking piece of Kentucky bourbon history—ideal for a whiskey collection, home bar, restaurant, distillery display, advertising collection, or bourbon-themed décor.Because this is an oversized and fragile glass item, careful packing will be required.
