Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year Old Bourbon Bottled 2013
Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year Old Bourbon Bottled 2013 is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey featuring a 10-year age statement and bottled at 107 proof. This specific release dates from 2013, representing the revered Van Winkle profile produced during the Buffalo Trace partnership era.
The Van Winkle story involves the 1992 closure of the original Stitzel-Weller distillery, which eventually led Julian Van Winkle III to partner with Buffalo Trace Distillery in 2002. All bottling operations moved to Buffalo Trace, initially using remaining Stitzel-Weller barrels before transitioning to Buffalo Trace's own distillate. While product from both eras is highly regarded, this 2013 bottling contains bourbon distilled at Buffalo Trace, reflecting their continuation of the Van Winkle standards. The 10 Year Old expression itself was one of the original Old Rip Van Winkle brands, first introduced by Julian Van Winkle III in the 1980s. Known for its wheated bourbon mashbill, the brand is widely considered the first premium bourbon line produced in the United States, contributing to its enduring reputation among collectors. This expression carries a stated age of 10 years and is presented at 107 proof.
