Henry McKenna Sour Mash Whiskey Bottle

[oldieaddict]

A friend has asked me about this small opaque cream colored glass bottle (3 1/4" high) which is marked on the front "Henry McKenna Sour Mash Bourbon Whiskey/Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey/86 Proof" and on the back "Distilled by H.McKenna Distillery/Fairfield nelson County, Ky/ 1/10 Pint". It does not show any wear but he stated that it was in a divided box with several other similar unused bottles. Can anyone tell me anything about this bottle? Old or new or repro?? Thanks much.

OLDIE...I believe the McKenna was made back in the late 1970's to capitalize upon the success of the Jim Beam ( and other modern bottles) craze....It is no repo...is reasonably "new."
McKenna issued several bottles and jugs during this time....most have minimal value currently.

Thanks, Whiskeyman. I thought this was a fairly new bottle but it is nice to get confirmation from a third party. I will send a donation to the cause through Paypal soon. Thanks. Oldieaddict
