Description

Julian P. "Pappy" Van Winkle Sr. truly was a wise man who kicked off a family of fine bourbon makers with his mantra to make the spirit "at a profit if we can, at a loss if we must, but always a fine bourbon". In 1893, he set out as a travelling salesman for W. L. Weller & Sons until eventually he and a friend saved up to purchase what would become known as the Stitzel-Weller Distillery. Today, the Van Winkle lineup, including the Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year, is distilled and aged at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, using the original wheated bourbon recipe.
