Lot Details
Description
Old Commonwealth Small Batch 10 Year Old 107 Proof NV
Bottled by Commonwealth Distillery Co., Lawrenceburg KY, clear glass
This special label created by Julian Van Winkle III in 1997 to revive the 'Old Commonwealth' brand, which had been originally trademarked in the mid 1970s and been used on a line of decanters in the late 1970s into the 1980s. Bottled at the Commonwealth Distillery (previously Old Hoffman) which Van Winkle had purchased in 1983, the same Cognac-style bottle that was being used for the Pappy Van Winkle's 20 Year Old Family Reserve was adopted, with the whisky said to be the same as that of standard 10 Year Old 107 Proof, albeit from a 'different spot in the warehouse'. Occasional bottles with special back labels were introduced (such as for Rebuen's Wines & Spirits in Texas). Bottled in small batches, the label was discontinued upon the move to Buffalo Trace in 2002, hence its rarity and allure with collectors and enthusiasts today.
1 bottle 75cl (no original packaging)
