Bottom embossed pontil marked whiskeys are not that uncommon but cheaper bottles like pontilled inks and medicines show bottom embossing very rarely. I dont think it was easy to add the embossing so people werent going to waste the time unless there was a good reason.

Some of the older black glass and dark olive Jano's and Hossetter's bottles come to mine.

Status: offline 		When I meantioned pontilled base embossed whiskeys I was refering to bottles like Dyottsville cylinders which are fairly common (at least compared to pontil base embossed inks and medicines). The base embossing on these was an intentional part of the mold design.
