I just checked my liquor supply, booze bottle labels don't typically
contain a bottling date, not unless there is something unique like it's
a collector's bottle... one would be hard pressed to prove the date of
bottling.

Even Seagram can only give an approximate date (Circa) for a particular
bottle of Crown Royal, apparently bottle molds and labeling changed
periodically but individual runs spanned many years:

I'm wondering how the OP knows his bottle is from 1968, did his father
actually mark the date on the bottle, because I do that, but that's
just date of purchase.
