Weller \u0026amp; Sons first as a traveling whiskey salesman and eventually as the President of Stitzel-Weller Distillery. He helped shape the industry during and after Prohibition. Through his endeavors in the warehouse, the boardroom and on the road, he built a reputation in the bourbon industry that was second to none. Fine bourbon was his mission, and he accepted nothing less.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePappy's son, Julian Jr., operated the distillery from 1964 until the family sold it in 1972. After, not one to be defeated, he got himself an office and a secretary and formed a company called J.P. Van Winkle and Son. He got into marketing bourbon through many types of commemorative decanters, some of the more popular being for universities. But he never stopped bottling on the side. He created the Old Rip Van Winkle label as a side venture in case his son, Julian III, wanted to come into the business.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJulian III took over the business in 1981 after his father passed away. He was 32 years old with a wife and four young children. The premium bourbon business was in a lull, but 90 years ago, Pappy started from the ground up, too. So, with this same, innate passion, Julian purchased the Old Hoffman Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, for barrel storage and bottling purposes. He couldn't afford much advertising, but the quality of Old Rip Van Winkle sold itself. Julian III and his impeccable palate created quite a stir.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen first approached by Buffalo Trace, Julian III was honored, but not immediately interested. He had ample bourbon aging, but the concern was for future reserves, since by this time, bourbon was increasing in popularity. Buffalo Trace bought the W.L. Weller label in 1999 and had been making the bourbon with nearly the same recipe as Pappy's. The transition was easy. As of May 2002, Buffalo Trace has produced the Van Winkle bourbons, using Pappy's exact recipe. This change allows Old Rip Van Winkle to maintain their strict quality standards while producing more barrels for future enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pappy Van Winkle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53671979811105,"sku":"089319123778","price":1149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/3289\/6545\/files\/pappy-van-winkle-family-reserve-rye-1106416923.png?v=1791471867"},{"product_id":"pappy-van-winkles-10-year-12-year-lot-b-15-year-bundle","title":"Pappy Van Winkle's 10 Year \u0026 12 Year Lot B \u0026 15 Year Bundle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Pappy Van Winkle 10, 12, and 15 Year Bundle brings together three expressions from the Van Winkle family lineup — Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year, Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Lot B, and Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 15 Year.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAll three use the same wheated mashbill produced at Buffalo Trace.

Old Rip Van Winkle — a 4-year wheated bourbon from 1988 representing the Van Winkle family's most accessible age statement in their independent bottling era. Now over 35 years from bottling, this is a time capsule of early Van Winkle family production before the Pappy Van Winkle brand achieved its current celebrated status.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4-year age statement at 86 proof is the entry-level tier of the Van Winkle family's historical lineup — significantly younger than the 10, 12, and 15-year expressions in the collection, but from the same wheated mash bill and production tradition. Bottled in 1988 before the modern bourbon revival, this bottle documents the Van Winkle program at its most approachable age statement from an era when their older expressions were available without allocation systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old Rip Van Winkle\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Wheated\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86 (43% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBottled:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1988\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pappy-van-winkle\"\u003eVan Winkle expressions\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rare\"\u003erare spirits\u003c\/a\u003e at Wooden Cork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs the Old Rip Van Winkle 4 Year 1988 still available?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — over 35 years from original bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\"\u003e[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is this still available?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes \\u2014 over 35 years from original bottling.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Pappy Van Winkle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53693424107809,"sku":"Scott","price":5799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/3289\/6545\/files\/download.jpg?v=1791471938"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/3289\/6545\/collections\/Pappy_Van_Winkle_s_Family_Reserve_23_Year_Old_-_2005_Gold_Wax_6c7ab932-e0a2-4c1c-a3f0-9ff593d6d9d6.png?v=1791472428","url":"https:\/\/bourbonskoch.com\/collections\/pappy-van-winkle-coolections.oembed","provider":"Bourbonskoch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
