About this listVan Winkle

The Van Winkle collection is made at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, under a partnership the Van Winkle family entered with the distillery in 2002. The line follows Pappy Van Winkle's original wheated recipe, the same wheated mash bill Buffalo Trace already used for Weller bourbon. It has six aged expressions: Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year, Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year, Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 15, 20 and 23 Year, and Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13 Year. The collection comes out once a year, with recent releases announced in September, and ships in limited quantities to retailers, bars and restaurants across the United States through Sazerac's distribution network. Shelf prices vary by store, so the suggested retail prices published with each release, such as $169.99 for the 10 Year and $499.99 for the 23 Year in 2026, are the useful reference.
