My great-great-grandfather produced a minor whiskey brand called Old Pike for over thirty years. I have an old advert, and some photos of his "Big Sandy" distillery, but no bottles, batch recipe, or anything he produced. The brand was sold and is at present a very small "bargain" brand. At its zenith, it was the best "red likker" produced in eastern Kentucky. I regret this, and wish my Grandfather would've preserved that history. They did not, and I cannot whine about spilled whiskey. If any item makes it to eBay, we all know it is a consumer free for all. It is too bad that the original owners did not set aside all their collateral and designs.
