Description

Twisted Spoke 16 Year Old 105 Proof NV


Bottled by Commonwealth Distillery Company, Lawrenceburg, KY, ullage: high shoulder


Julian Van Winkle III bottled this 16-year-old whiskey in 1999 for the Twisted Spoke, a bar in Chicago. It was among his last private-label bottlings, as well as one of the last that he put into green-glass bottles before switching to clear. Today it ranks as one of the rarest and most passionately hunted expressions Van Winkle ever produced, a true unicorn among unicorns
