The bottle featured in this piece is Berkeley Whiskey, a pre-Prohibition whiskey produced in Washington, D.C. during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Newspaper advertisements made bold medicinal claims, stating the whiskey “tones up the nerves instead of unstringing them” and recommending it as a “safeguard against sickness.”
