Four Roses Whiskey Bottle

         When researching the collection of glass bottles and their uses for the "Vice" exhibit, I came across this interesting large bottle. Upon further research, I found out that this bottle is part of the Four Roses Whiskey brand. The brand was originally based in Louisville, Kentucky and then became a large international brand within European and Asian Markets. It was brought back to the American market around 2002. However, the only photo with information that I could find looked almost exactly like this bottle except for the spaces for labels. I was unable to find any information about a four roses whiskey bottle that has the diamond shape space for a label instead of a square along with the small imprinted label that says, "AGED IN WOOD".  It may be a related to the prohibition era or post prohibition era 'medicinal whiskey pint' that was produced with the diamond label shape because they have the same intricate rose pattern on the bottle body, are the same amber brown color and are the same size of roughly 20cm in height and 9.5 cm in width. If anyone has any further information about this Four Roses Whiskey style of bottle or ideas as to where we can look for more information, we would greatly appreciate the input.
