I seriously don't remember where I acquired this. Which is highly unusual. It had to be that someone was going to throw it away, or put it in the good will bag and I instead adopted it. Normally I remember prices of my purchases. Also I don't collect many bottles.
It was very difficult to photograph, the ship would not show up on white or black.
Many thanks! Brinkly

Thank You, I went to their site. Viewed their 1970-19779 adds. No luck, all their bottles are mostly the same style. Did not see anything that would have indicated a special edition. Appreciate your time.
Thank you for that information.
It's a Kentucky Bourbon bottle. The actual ship from the 18th Century is in Boston Harbor. Has been their for years & has been restored. The last surviving member of the US Navy’s original class of six frigates, the Constitution will return to the waters at Charlestown Navy Yard with nearly 100 new white oak planks and more than 2,200 fresh copper sheets on its recaulked hull. finally unveil this July 23, 2017 at Boston Harbor.
Much appreciated!
