The bottle says "Specially Licensed and Bottled for CORNHUSKER DISTRIBUTING, CO. OMAHA, NE." Not sure if it really was filled with Kentucky Bourbon, but most likely was. I have no idea which brand, though. This is a rare find and very special due to the red cowboy style hat that was a popular style for Cornhusker fans of the sixties and early seventies. Not mine... |

1971 GO BIG RED Gin
Thanks to Lamont Lyon for bringing this baby to our attention. Another BIG RED beverage from the same company that brought us the BIG RED VODKA. Thanks again, Lamont!
Not Mine... |

1971 GO BIG RED Scotch This one is from the "UNIVERSAL IMPORTING CO. WESTON MO" as shown on the back label. Great bottle and label design. Not mine... |

1971 GO BIG RED Vodka The bottle says "BOTTLED FOR LOUIS FINOCCHIARO - INC BY THE OLD HOLLADAY DISTILLING CO. WESTON MO." This is another rare find for the same reasons as listed above. I get the feeling that either the Athletic Department or Sports Information Department brokered a deal for various distilleries to produce products for the Huskers. May have been an NCAA sanctioned program as well, but I haven't seen examples from other schools. Any ideas? Not mine... |

Four Bottles Together Examples of all four together in one collection from Dan Wagner. Note the differences in the Scotch bottle on the left from the one listed two spaces above: clear vs green, straight neck vs curved, may be a newer bottle? Also the Bourbon states "6 years old" vs nothing in that space on the label at top. Thanks, Dan! |
