Old Rip Van Winkle 'Twisted Spoke' 16 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Issued exclusively for Twisted Spoke in 1999, this 16-year-old single barrel release was crafted in collaboration with a bar of the same name in Chicago. It comprises 16-year-old Stitzel-Weller bourbon, known as Old Fitzgerald at the time, and boasts a 105-proof potency.

This particular single barrel bourbon marks a unique deviation in the brand's history, as Julian Van Winkle III authorized independent bottling through Old Commonwealth or the Old Hoffman Distillery in Lawrenceburg. Consequently, the Twisted Spoke stands as one of the rarest treasures in bourbon whiskey, intertwined with captivating tales within Van Winkle's heritage.
