Description

Society of Bourbon Connoisseurs Cask Proof 20 Year Old 55.0 abv 1974


Barreled April 1974, bottled October 1994, Batch #74-327, Japanese import, ullage: mid shoulder, wax capsule slightly cracked, back label very slightly stained


This is the first of three releases that Julian Van Winkle III sold under the Society of Bourbon Connoisseurs label, all at cask strength, and all for export to Japan. There is no actual society; it is just a fanciful name Van Winkle created – a fact that only adds to the allure of this rare bottle.


1 bt 75cl (nop)
