Old Rip Van Winkle 15 Year "SQUAT" Bottling (2002 Vintage)

Before the Van Winkle partnership with Buffalo Trace, the 15-year-old bourbon was released as Old Rip Van Winkle 15 Year at 107 proof—there was no "Pappy 15." Often called "Old Rip 15 squat," the bottle came in two main glass variations, differing in height and neck/shoulder shape. All Old Rip 15's contain 100% Stitzel-Weller distillate, though Lawrenceburg bottlings—produced at Old Commonwealth and typically non-chill filtered.
