Description

Old Rip Van Winkle 25 Year Old Decanter 50.0 abv 1989


Distilled in the Spring and Fall of 1989 and moved to stainless steel tanks in 2014, bottle #588 of 710, bottle code: B1707313:07N, in pristine condition, includes Glencairn crystal stopper and certificate of authenticity signed by Julian Van Winkle III, packed in its original carboard shipping packaging

 

At 25 years, this is the oldest Van Winkle whiskey ever released. It appeared in 2014, and only 710 were made. The wheated bourbon inside comes from Stitzel-Weller and is some of the last the distillery made before closing down in 1992. The bottle comes in a wooden box with an accompanying crystal stopper, made by Glencairn. This is pure, unadulterated bourbon luxury, in a bottle, and well worth every penny one pays for it.


1 bottle 75cl (no original packaging)
