Old Rip Van Winkle 10yr 107pf Lawrenceburg, ~2001

Old Rip Van Winkle 10 year was  released in the late 1970s and is still produced today. It was Stitzel-Weller stock until around 2004, when it was Bermheim for a while and eventually Buffalo Trace (with some probably mingling in the transition years). The Lawrenceburg bottles are especially valued, possibly because they were non chill filtered before the move to Buffalo Trace in 2002.

David Nicholson “1843” Bonded, 2001

Bottled by Luxco of Saint Louis, David Nicholson was originally produced by Stitzel-Weller, but at some point Heaven Hill became the primary supplier. Unfortunately, Luxco continued to label bottles with DSP-KY-16 until some time in the aughts, so there’s no good way of knowing whether the whiskey in the bottle is Stitzel-Weller or Heaven Hill distillate.
