Twisted Spoke 16 Year Old 105 Proof NV (1 Bottle 75cl)

Twisted Spoke 16 Year Old 105 Proof NV

Green glass, bottled exclusively for the bar Twisted Spoke in Chicago by Commonwealth Distillery Company, Lawrenceburg, KY, top and bottom edges of label slightly scuffed

Julian Van Winkle III bottled this 16-year-old whiskey in 1998 for Twisted Spoke, a bar in Chicago. It was among his last private label releases, also making it one of the last bottlings to utilize the now famous "green glass" before switching to clear glass. Today this bottling is considered one of the rarest and most passionately hunted expressions Van Winkle ever produced. Twisted Spoke sadly closed its doors in August 2025, but its legacy lives on through this iconic bottle and its wraparound label.
