That is suppose to be T. J. Pottenger for Thomas Jefferson Pottenger Distillery, Gethsemane, Nelson County, Kentucky

1881 New Hope area, T J Pottinger and Company listed as a "manufacture of whiskey" merchant.

He is my Great Great Grandfather.

At Jim Beam's site that is the way they list the product. Sorry if I was misinformed. Thanks for the history, Bill.
