Van Winkle Family Reserve Bourbon Distilled 1970 Bottled 1984 #A4

Van Winkle Family Reserve Bourbon, Distilled 1970, Bottled 1984, Bottle #A4 — a Stitzel-Weller era wheated bourbon from the Van Winkle family’s independent bottling operation, one of the lowest bottle numbers in the 1970/1984 series and therefore among the rarest individual bottle designations in the current Wooden Cork collection.

The 1970 distillate and 1984 bottling places this in the Van Winkle family’s independent era — wheated bourbon from Stitzel-Weller stocks produced before the modern ORVW/Pappy Van Winkle program began. Bottle #A4 carries the distinctive A-prefix designation that identifies a specific sequence within the 1984 bottling, joining #A235 and other A-series expressions also in the collection.
