I forgot I was meant to be putting up some of my more recent glassware finds. Here's a blast from the past from Colt 45's short existence here - it's etched as 1980. Nostalgia can take many forms ...
That typo had me thinking you were getting 16 lines of coke for a dollar 😅

Vets Put Their Stamp on Startup Whiskeys
While military liquor stores have been slow to warm to the trend, veteran-owned distilleries offer something unique for the armed forces.
