Old Rip van Winkle Prohibition Quart Distilled 1917

Description

Old Rip Van Winkle Prohibition-Era Quart – Distilled 1917 | Pre-Prohibition Whiskey Rarity

Step back in time with one of the rarest and most historically significant bourbons ever bottled: the Old Rip Van Winkle Prohibition Quart, Distilled in 1917. Produced just before the onset of Prohibition and likely bottled for medicinal use under federal license, this remarkable artifact represents a lost era of American whiskey-making.

Distilled over a century ago—during World War I and before the 18th Amendment—this pre-Prohibition bourbon carries the DNA of the original Van Winkle family legacy. A true Stitzel Distillery relic, this full quart (not the later 750ml standard) is preserved in its original packaging and features authentic period labeling, making it a museum-worthy collector’s item.

Bottles from this time are virtually extinct, and owning one is akin to holding a living piece of whiskey history. The provenance, age, and untouched craftsmanship make this 1917-dated quart an ultra-rare centerpiece for advanced collectors, spirits historians, or serious investors in fine and vintage spirits.

Whether destined for a private vault or world-class whiskey display, the 1917 Old Rip Van Winkle Prohibition-Era Quart is a once-in-a-lifetime find.
