Pittsburgh's Klinordlinger & Wallace distillery brewed some of the finest spirits in Western Pennsylvania from the 1880s through the early 1900s. Local brands of potables included Happy Moments, Monongahela Golden Rye, Toll Gate, Watch Dog and -- perhaps tastiest of all to Steel City sports folks -- Pittsburgh Pirate Club Sensation, Today, bottles of this whiskey are about as rare as Honus Wagner's mustache wax cup. We not only offer a bottle of "Pirate Club" but one in superb condition. The glass itself is gemstone smooth and unmarked, while the label depicting a Pirate player with his sleeves rolled up and leaning on a bat is damaged only at the upper corners, with some of the word "Club" partially rubbed off. All in all, an absoute treasure, with no after taste.
