Along with Corti Brothers, the Cork N Bottle releases of Van Winkle Selection count as the pinnacle of the legendary label. Gordon Hue, the owner of the Cork N Bottle liquor store in northern Kentucky, teamed with Julian Van Winkle III in the 1980s and 1990s to create some of the most iconic whiskeys America has ever seen – including this, among the first 20-year-old bourbons offered by Van Winkle and a complete game-changer in terms of pushing up age statements on American whiskey, at a time when bourbon appreciation was at its nadir. Today, Cork N Bottle releases count among the rarest and most desired whiskeys in the country.
