Can anybody identify the whiskey bottle Red Will Danaher is drinking out of in this screen capture from The Quiet Man?

Thank you.

Andy is correct in my view. It looks like a generic Case Gin, machine made so 1920 - 50 maybe. Nothing special I'm sure. I once knew a guy who worked for a movie studio as a prop person and he was diligent about making sure things were period correct. Not perfect but he tried.

I always like seeing if the props departments got the bottles correct in period movies. They usually seem to do a good job, although here in Canada we've got a period detective show called Murdoch Mysteries that has lots of bottles in it and is always showing ones that are too modern for its 1890's setting.
