Old Rip Van Winkle 25 Years Old 1989 Decanter 2017 Release

Description

Old Rip Van Winkle 25 Years Old 1989 Decanter 2017 Release is one of the rarest and most prestigious bourbon whiskies ever produced. Distilled in 1989 at the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery and matured for 25 years in just eleven barrels, this extraordinary release represents the pinnacle of traditional Kentucky bourbon craftsmanship. The casks were originally stored by the Van Winkle family at the Commonwealth Distillery in Lawrenceburg before being transferred to Buffalo Trace in 2002, where the bourbon continued aging until 2014. In 2017 the whiskey was finally released in an elegant crystal decanter, marking one of the most luxurious Van Winkle releases ever created. Produced under the iconic Old Rip Van Winkle label – a historic wheated bourbon brand dating back to the post-Prohibition era and founded by Julian Van Winkle Sr. – this 25-year-old expression embodies rarity, heritage and exceptional maturation. With deep oak richness, dark caramel sweetness, spice and refined vanilla complexity, Old Rip Van Winkle 25 Year Old stands among the most sought-after collector bourbons in the world.
