Was this bourbon actually aged by radiation?
The label to this "21st-Century bourbon whiskey" from 1960 has been making the rounds lately on countless sites. Americans of the 1960s were certainly obsessed with all things nuclear. But did this bottle really contain whiskey aged 30 days by radiation?
Nope. In reality, the bottle was a joke — a novelty sold at stores. The "frisky whiskey" bottle was actually empty, except for a small battery-powered motor that was supposed to spook your party guests with its radioactive wobbling.
