Bininger's Old Kentucky Bourbon is a whiskey label issued under the name of A.M. Bininger & Co. of New York, listed in the record as sole proprietors. The color lithograph was printed by F. Heppenheimer of New York, and the record notes a copyright held by Rufus Watles and L.C. Sanger. Around 1860, printed labels like this one were central to selling spirits, since a bottle was often recognized by its paper label. The "Old Kentucky" name points to bourbon's association with Kentucky and its corn-based whiskey, while the New York firm shows how such products were marketed to buyers far from where they were made.
