Old Rip Van Winkle 20yr, 133.4pf, Sam’s Single Barrel – 2003
One of the rarest and most collectable Van Winkle bottles, and one of the very few ever bottled at cask strength, this barrel produced only 60 bottles for Sam’s Wines & Spirits in Chicago (later purchased by Binny’s).
Old Rip Van Winkle Woodside 15yr, Batch B11, 92.4pf, 2003
Bottled by Julian Van Winkle for Woodside Pub in California, one of multiple barrels over several years.
Pappy Van Winkle 23yr, Frankfort No Letter, 2003
This was the second release of the Pappy 23. The first was from Lawrenceburg and had the green-tinted glass, also with no letter before the bottle number. The third release had gold wax and an A before the number.
