Spotted a Tapping The Admiral from 1873:

"Why, sir, I've heard of sailers so wild for grog,
sir, that they tapped a hogshead what they know'd
had a dead corpse in it, goin' over seas for burial."

- middle of a paragraph of page 112 of Nothing
To Drink, by Julia McNair Wright (1873)

Can't be any worse than Peanut Butter Whiskey.

I'm having a taste flashback now, and not a good one.
