Was 6 years considered a selling point back then? Or is that an American thing? At least where I am, the youngest I ever see advertised is 8 years for whiskey.

This is like middle of the road for bourbon aging in my experience. No idea what the market was like back in 1967 though.

Straight Bourbon is a minimum of two years. So six is...above the minimum.
