Lot Details
Description
Old Fitzgerald 6 Year Old 100 Proof
Distilled in Fall 1965, bottled in Fall 1971, distilled and bottled by Stitzel-Weller Distillery, gold foil capsule wrinkled, tax strip still sealed, front label very slightly nicked, original cradle worn, packed in original shipping case, includes pour spout
This bottle makes up for its relative youth with its historical significance. The whiskey inside it was distilled in the fall of 1965, just months after the death of Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle, and it was bottled in 1971, the year before the Van Winkle family was forced to sell the Stitzel-Weller distillery. In addition, it comes packed in its original shipping case, along with its original pour spout.
1 gallon (opc)
