Located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, the Hoffman Distillery was falling apart when Julian Van Winkle III purchased it in 1983 as a base for his bottling operation. He filled bottles under his own Old Rip Van Winkle label, as well as very small runs of whiskey under other names, such as this one, the extremely rare Hoffman Red Crown, which he prepared exclusively for export. By then he had renamed the site Old Commonwealth, but chose Hoffman as a tribute to its past.
