Description
Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13 Year Old 95.6 Proof NV
Bottle #A3513, bottled by Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery Lawrenceburg, KY, ullage: top shoulder, capsule slightly loose and worn
This bottle is pure history. It is from the first run of 13-year-old rye produced by Julian Van Winkle III, as signified by the letter A on the label – each subsequent year saw the letter go up. Notably, the whiskey in this bottle is actually 14 years old, but Van Winkle did not want to go through the difficulty of changing the label every year. To make it even more significant, this green-tinted bottle is among the last ever from Van Winkle: Just a few months later he switched to clear glass.
