Description

Van Winkle 16 Year Old 90 Proof 1974


Barreled in 1974, bottled in 1990 by Van Winkle Distilling Company, Lawrenceburg, KY, Japanese import, bottle #03132, green glass, includes original leather neck tag, front and back label stained, original case worn and damaged


This bottle fascinates with its historical detail. Distilled in 1974, most likely at the Boone distillery, and bottled in 1990 by Julian Van Winkle III at his Old Commonwealth facility, it is self-evidently intended for the Japanese market – the back label is almost completely in Japanese script.
