Jack Daniel's Collection 2

Before the Civil War, distilleries were not required to register with the federal government. But in 1866, Congress passed legislation that required registration. Mr. Jack, being the forward-thinking man he was, made sure he was first in line, and that’s why the Jack Daniel Distillery is still listed in the federal record books as “Distillery No. 1.” This 1L decanter, released in 1990, celebrates the 125th Anniversary of “America’s Oldest Registered Distillery” and pays tribute to its founder.

Two versions of this bottle were produced - one for the American market, and one for Europe.
The American version is on the right of the picture above, and actually has the words "125th Anniversary" inscribed on the glass decanter, (43% AVB). The European version is identical, except the words "125th Anniversary" are replaced with "Tennessee Whiskey" and 45% ABV (http://www.shotglass.co.uk/html/125th.html)
The jugs are from 1958 according to the "genuine good" sticker from Jack Daniel's
