Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 100 Proof 1985

Bottle #A2801, bottled by Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery Lawrencebur🌄g, KY, ullage: top shoulder

A historic bottle by many measures – this 15-year-old rye, two years older than the standard Van Winkle rye, was a trial run exported to Europe, and never repeated; it was also one of the last to be bottled at Julian Van Winkle III’s Old Commonwealth distillery before he moved his operation inside Buffalo Trace. It is also one of the last times that Van W♈inkle relied solely on whiskey distilled at Medley, in Owensboro, Kentucky; for later releases he blended it𒅌 with rye from other distilleries.
