Old Rip Van Winkle 18 Year Old Blue Smoke 92.6 Proof NV

Produced & bottled by Old Rip Van Winkle exclusively for Blue Smoke Restaurant, ullage: top shoulder

The early 2000s were a high time for Julian Van Winkle III – he signed an agreement to distill and bottle his brands at Buffalo Trace, ensuring a future for the Van Winkle label, while at the same time he bottled a series of private-label whiskeys that have since become legendary. Among them is this bottle from 2003, which he created for Blue Smoke, a BBQ restaurant in downtown Manhattan, unfortunately shuttering its doors this December, 2024. With its red background and bold typefaces, it is easily the most distinctive label Van Winkle ever produced.
