FORTUNA BARREL PROOF KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY

<p>Old Fortuna was the primary whiskey brand of the Stitzel Brothers Distillery in the late 1800s. They eventually sold the distillery to Hollenbach Bros, who changed the distillery name to Glencoe. While it was considered a premium brand in the early 1900s, the distillery was dismantled during prohibition. Glencoe was rebuilt in the 1930s, sold to National Distillers in the 1940s, and produced whiskey until the late 1960s or early 1970s. There's debate about whether the brand was eventually sold to United Distillers, but Mike Veach says that they never owned the brand</p>
