Description

Van Winkle Family Reserve 17 Year Old 101 Proof 1974


Barreled in 1974, bottled in 1991 Van Winkle Distilling Company, Japanese Export, bottle #913562, ullage: very top shoulder, red wax capsule very slightly chipped, back label scuffed and worn


Julian Van Winkle III bottled about 1,500 cases of 17-year-old whiskey for export to Japan – which is how he got away with using dripping red wax, otherwise a trademark of Maker’s Mark. The whiskey inside came from the Boone distillery, the same that went into his reputation-staking green-glass bottles of 20-year-old bourbon at the end of the 1990s.
