About the item
Prior to the Buffalo Trace joint venture with the Van Winkle brand, there was no such thing as Pappy 15. Old Rip Van Winkle 15 was the only option at 15 years and 107 proof.

Commonly referred to as an "Old Rip 15 squat" there are two primary styles of this bottle; the differences being the overall height and the slope of the neck and shoulders.

Did You Know? All Old Rip 15's are 100 percent Stitzel-Weller distillate but Lawrenceburg bottlings are typically more sought after than Frankfort versions, primarily because they were bottled at Old Commonwealth and NCF (non-chill filtered).

"98" glass molding, Lawrenceburg
