Old Rip Van Winkle 25 Year Bourbon Decanter

Old Rip Van Winkle 25 Year Bourbon Decanter

This limited edition 25yr decanter holds the title of being the oldest whiskey ever bottled under the Van Winkle label. Only 11 barrels were selected and the total yield was 710 bottles.

The journey of this bourbon is remarkable: it was distilled in the spring and fall of 1989 and stored for the first 13 years in Shively (at Stitzel-Weller) in a metal clad warehouse. In 2002, the barrels were moved to Buffalo Trace and kept on the lower floors of their brick warehouses.

After 25 years of total aging—in 2014—the barrels were dumped into stainless steel holding tanks to stop the barrel aging process. The whiskey was finally bottled in 2017 after spending three years in tanks.
