Van Winkle 19 Year Old Special Reserve Corti Brothers 45.7 abv 1975

Van Winkle 19 Year Old Special Reserve Corti Brothers 45.7 abv 1975 Green glass, black wax, distilled in Spring 1975, exclusively bottled for Corti Brothers Wine Merchants in Sacramento by Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery Lawrenceburg KY, retail sticker adhered to front of bottle Corti Brothers is a gourmet grocery store in Sacramento, California, that in the 1980s became one of the earliest buyers for Julian Van Winkle III’s bourbon, which he was buying from Stitzel-Weller and bottling at his Old Commonwealth distillery. The people at Corti Brothers were far ahead of the whiskey curve, and they ordered 19-year-old bourbon at a time when well-aged American whiskey was practically non-existent – bottles like this one constitute the first known private-barrel bourbon selection. It was Darrell Corti, who ran the business at the time, who first convinced Van Winkle to use a cognac-style bottle. Today bottles from Van Winkle that carry the Corti Brothers name rank among the rarest and most sought-after whiskeys in the world. 1 bottle 75cl (no original pacgkaging) Please refer to images for levels and conditions ﻿All Lots are offered for sale in the condition they are in at the time of sale and sold “AS IS” in accordance with the Conditions of Business for Buyers.

The Old Fitzgerald Archival Collection This special trio of bottles was curated from the personal archives of Max Shapira, Executive Chairman of Heaven Hill Distillery, representing many decades of Bourbon craftsmanship, tracing Old Fitzgerald’s evolution from its pre-Prohibition roots to its modern revival under Heaven Hill’s stewardship. Proceeds from this lot will be donated to The Isaac W. Bernheim Foundation, benefiting Bernheim Forest and Arboretum. Founded by Bourbon maker Isaac Wolfe Bernheim in 1929, Bernheim is a 16,000-acre protected forest, located just 30 minutes south of Louisville. With a mission of connecting people with nature, Bernheim offers educational programs, 40 miles of hiking trails, renowned art experiences, and beautiful plant collections. “Each of these bottles is a snapshot of Old Fitzgerald through the ages. They tell the story of a brand that has survived and thrived through every chapter of American whiskey history, of which Heaven Hill is a proud part. I’m honored to now share them in a way that will support a meaningful charitable cause.” Max Shapira The Old Fitzgerald Archival Collection comprises: Old Fitzgerald 17 Year Old Bottled In Bond 100 Proof 1917 (1 Bottle Pint) Distilled Fall 1917, bottled Fall of 1934, produced by A. Ph. Stitzel, Distillery No. 17, Kentucky, bottled at bonded warehouse No. 17, top of tax strip nicked, Illinois state tax stamp adhered to right shoulder, front label slightly scratched down the middle, includes original carton with top flap almost fully detached This 100 Proof pre-Prohibition bourbon was distilled by A. PH. Stitzel, later to become part of the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery. Distilled in a year when many distilleries were shutting down and shifting production to assist with wartime efforts, this whiskey was likely among the last to have been produced before Prohibition. Aged through some of the nation’s most defining historical moments and bottled shortly after the repeal of Prohibition, this pint embodies the rebirth of America’s Bourbon tradition. Very Xtra Old Fitzgerald 10 Year Old Bottled In Bond 100 Proof 1955 (1 Bottle 4/5 Quart) Distilled Spring 1955, bottled Fall 1965 at Stitzel-Weller Distillery expressly for Colorado Electric Co., top of tax strip nicked, front label very slightly peeling from bottom right, neck label slightly stained, includes original presentation case and two Old Fitzgerald shot glasses, presentation case slightly worn and scratched Bottled expressly for “Colorado Electric Co.” and presented in a striking red box set with two tasting glasses, this expression captures the zenith of the Van Winkle era at Stitzel-Weller. With its wheated mash bill, Bottled-in-Bond marker and decade-long maturation, it epitomizes Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle’s vision for Bourbon perfection. John E. Fitzgerald Very Selection 20 Year Old 90 Proof 1992 (1 Bottle 37.5cl) Distilled by Stitzel-Weller DSP-KY-16, Shively, KY, bottled by Heaven Hill DSP-KY-31 Bardstown KY, original wooden presentation case very slightly worn, includes educational booklet, pedestal inside wooden case has detached from base This bottle is the final link between the brand’s Stitzel-Weller legacy and Heaven Hill’s modern stewardship. When Heaven Hill acquired the Old Fitzgerald brand with its purchase of the Bernheim Distillery, it also purchased 12 barrels of Stitzel-Weller Bourbon. After two decades, the Bourbon from those barrels was moved temporarily to inert tanks to halt its maturation. Bottled at 90 proof to reveal the depth, grace, and complexity of a Bourbon matured to its absolute peak. This is one of just 3,000 bottles made and sold, housed in a hand-crafted wood box, cut with a keyhole to pay homage to Old Fitzgerald’s origins and namesake, treasury agent John E. Fitzgerald. 1 bottle pint, 1 bottle 4/5 quart, 1 bottle 37.5cl (no original packaging) Please refer to images for levels and conditions ﻿All Lots are offered for sale in the condition they are in at the time of sale and sold “AS IS” in accordance with the Conditions of Business for Buyers.

Old Rip Van Winkle 23 Year Old Decanter 114 Proof 1986

Old Rip Van Winkle 23 Year Old Decanter 114 Proof 1986 Distilled in 1986, selected by Julian P. Van Winkle III and Preston Van Winkle from a 50 barrel lot, bottle code: K3210910:58, bottle #951 of 1200 , includes certificate, glass stopper and two Glencairn crystal rocks glasses engraved with Old Rip Van Winkle Family Selection, inside of case is slightly scuffed, frayed, and worn A true rarity, this bottle is one of only 1,200 released in 2009 by Julian Van Winkle III and his son, Preston. The two selected 50 barrels of whiskey distilled in 1986 at Stitzel-Weller, which their family owned until 1972. Unlike their regular release of 23-year-old bourbon, this one carries the Old Rip Van Winkle label (rather than Pappy Van Winkle), is non-chill-filtered, and is bottled at 114 proof, significantly higher than the standard 95.6. The decanter-style bottle comes in a wooden lacquer box with a set of crystal rocks glasses from Glencairn, making it perhaps the most sumptuously packaged American whiskey to date. 1 bottle 75cl (original wooden case) Please refer to images for levels and conditions ﻿All Lots are offered for sale in the condition they are in at the time of sale and sold “AS IS” in accordance with the Conditions of Business for Buyers.
