In the realm of exceptional bourbons, the Van Winkle 15 Years Old Red Wax Green Glass Family Reserve Lawrenceburg 3653 47.8% stands as a true testament to the artistry and heritage of American whiskey. This pre-2002 release harks back to a bygone era, produced at the original site in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, before the move to Frankfort, and is steeped in the rich history of Stitzel-Weller bourbon.

Legacy of Stitzel-Weller:

Before its closure in 1992 and the relocation to Frankfort, Stitzel-Weller was renowned for crafting exceptional bourbons.

Distilled at the Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery in Lawrenceburg and bottled in the late 1990s, it captures the spirit of a time when bourbon-making was an art form, carefully handed down through generations.

Handle with Care:

Given its vintage nature, this bottle of Van Winkle 15 Years Old may have seen the effects of time on its closure. As a result, opening it requires a delicate touch. Care should be taken to preserve the integrity of this rare piece of bourbon history. The item is sold as described.
