Price: $ 399.99
Product Description

Travel back to 1960 with this original vintage bottle of Seagram's V.O. Canadian Whisky, aged six years and bearing an authentic 1960 U.S. federal tax strip. A remarkable survivor from the golden age of Canadian whisky, this bottle represents an era when Seagram's was one of the most recognized names in the North American spirits industry.

Produced by Joseph E. Seagram & Sons Limited in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, Seagram's V.O. was crafted from a blend of carefully selected Canadian whiskies, each aged for a minimum of six years. With its 1960 tax strip, this bottle offers a glimpse into the whisky enjoyed during the early years of the Kennedy era, when Canadian whisky was a staple in American bars, restaurants, and home liquor cabinets.

The bottle features Seagram's classic cream-and-gold label, traditional family crest, distinctive black-and-gold neck ribbon, and the original paper-wrapped closure. Its most significant identifying feature is the 1960 U.S. federal tax strip, serial number B1691655, which remains attached across the top of the bottle.

Bottled at 86.8 proof (43.4% ABV), this expression reflects the higher bottling strength of Seagram's V.O. during this period. The reverse label proudly displays the company's historic globe emblem and the words "Honoured the World Over for Integrity, Tradition, Craftsmanship," along with the original Seagram Distillers Company importer information from 375 Park Avenue, New York.

The glass also bears the embossed statement "Federal Law Forbids Sale or Re-Use of This Bottle," a distinctive feature of American-market spirits packaging from the mid-20th century.

More than six decades old, this original Seagram's V.O. is a wonderful addition to a vintage whisky collection, a distinctive gift for a Canadian whisky enthusiast, or a nostalgic piece of American cocktail history.
