Old Continental Whiskey – One Spectacular Bottle

Campbell & Seaman Ad - circa 1859

Recently I came across an advertisement that Eric McGuire provided me for the CAMPBELL & SEAMAN NEW YORK post I recently did.

This resulted in more information linking the CAMPBELL & SEAMAN NEW YORK square to the OLD CONTINENTAL WHISKY (WHISKEY), one of my favorite bottles.

Without a doubt, the OLD CONTINENTAL WHISKEY is one of the most stunning, beautiful and spectacular bottles ever produced in a square form. With the embossed continental soldier, columned corners and arched panels, the Old Continental could be the centerpiece of any collection. I missed an opportunity to obtain this bottle back around 2005 and regret not snagging it. That example now resides in the Sandor Fuss collection in Denver, Colorado. I have posted a few pictures below that Ed and Kathy Gray took of Sandor’s bottle. You can always identify the Gray’s remarkable photography.
