Old Rip Van Winkle 25 Year

A 1989 vintage expression of Old Rip Van Winkle bourbon distilled at the original Stitzel-Weller distillery that closed in 1992. This 25 year old expression is the oldest Van Winkle bottled, and in 2014 Julian Van Winkle, the grandson of Pappy, tanked the whiskey. 11 barrels were used for this release and after a few years of mellowing the whiskey was bottled in a large decanter and box set crafted from staves pulled from the barrels that matured this spirit. Just 710 total decanter sets were produced at 100 proof.
