THANKS TO KENTUCKYGEM FOR HIS POST:

A. P. Hotaling & Co. Belmont Whisky. Whisky spelled KY indicated pure Kentucky Bourbon instead of the west coast product spelled KEY. Del Carlos address was again listed as 3692 Eighteenth St. and the phone number was Park 2154.                   

Hmm, that should be enough to start the search. Sure enough, the Sanborn map plainly shows a saloon at that location on the corner of Delores.

Several hours of sleuthing for hard data about D. Del Carlo, the principals of the saloon and or company, or the years that it was in business came up absoultely blank. Nuthin'! None of the City directories or phone books dating from 1895 - 1915 make any mention of the business. Still, there it is, plain as day. Dating is also made easier by the Pure Food and Drug Act stamp of 1906 on the label. And that makes sense, since the residential part of the city expanded westward after it was rebuilt, subsequent to the Great Earthquake and Fire.

Two theories about the Belmont brand are possible; either Del Carlo purchased unblended Kentucky Whisky in hogsheads from Hotaling and rebottled it under license, or they were nothing but a fly by night backwater saloon bottling red eye with a fancy label. Lending credence to the latter is the fact that the Belmont brand does not appear in the list of brands registered to Hotaling. In fact, only two western wholesalers registered the name Belmont; one being James Gibb (Belmont Whiskey) in 1902, the other an outfit by the name of Venaglia, Costa & Co. (Belmont Club Whiskey) that registered it prior to Gibb, in 1899. Shame, shame on Del Carlo; another imposter?

And yet, look at the label! It plainly shows the Hotaling brand on the barrel ends. Either the brand is indeed legit, or Mr. Del Carlo was skirting the dark edge of the gray area in an attempt to avoid the wrath of old A.P.'s legal department~
