Jack Daniels Old Time Black Label 1989 Fake Seal Stumpy 1.75L Extremely Rare

Jack Daniels Old Time Black Label – 1989 “Fake Seal” Stumpy 1.75L (Extremely Hard to Find)
This is a true heavyweight collector bottle — an exceptionally scarce late-1980s Jack Daniels Old Time Black Label, bottled in the large-format 1.75L stumpy bottle, featuring the highly sought-after “fake seal” capsule used only during a short transitional period.
Among serious Jack Daniel’s collectors, the fake seal is well-established terminology referring only to the capsule style, which visually mimics earlier tax-style seals but is not a tamper strip. It does NOT indicate a counterfeit bottle — rather, it marks a brief and historically important packaging phase in Jack Daniel’s evolution.
Finding this variant in 1.75L stumpy format is exponentially harder than the standard 75cl example. Large-format Old Time Black Labels from this era were produced in far smaller numbers and are now almost never seen on the open market.
Why This Bottle Is Serious Collector Grade
•Extremely scarce 1.75L stumpy format
•Short-lived fake seal capsule period
•Correct Old Time typography & medal history panel
•Heavy pre-modern glass with embossed Jack Daniel’s
•Rarely surfaces outside long-held collections
•Centre-piece bottle for Jack Daniels Black Label verticals
This is not a casual JD bottle — it’s a cornerstone piece.
The term “fake seal” refers solely to the capsule style used during this period and does NOT indicate a counterfeit bottle.
