Old Rip Van Winkle 23 Year Old Decanter 114 Proof 1986

Bottle #687 of 1200, distilled in 1986, selected by Julian P. Van Winkle III and Preston Van Winkle from a 50 barrel lot, includes glass stopper, two Glencairn crystal rocks glasses inscribed with Old Rip Van Winkle Family Selection, includes certificate, inside of original presentation case slightly damaged damaged, outer case has scratches and scuffs, front of box has a barcode adhered to the bottom right

A true rarity, this is bottle is one of just 1,200 released in 2009 by Julian Van Winkle III and his son, Preston. The two selected 50 barrels of whiskey distilled in 1986 at Stitzel-Weller, which their family had owned until 1972. Unlike their regular releases of 23-year-old whiskey, this one carries the Old Rip Van Winkle label (instead of Pappy Van Winkle), was non-chill-filtered, and was bottled at 114 proof, significantly higher than the standard 95.6. The decanter-style bottle comes in a black lacquer box with a set of crystal glasses from Glencairn, making it perhaps the most sumptuously packaged American whiskeys of all time.
