"Additionally, in honor of this year's release and National Bourbon Heritage Month, Legacy de Forge - a new global platform created to "improve access to [Pappy's parent brand] Sazerac's most coveted spirits" - is offering an exclusive series of rare whiskey auctions this September. Leading the offerings is a single bottle of Old Rip Van Winkle 25 Year Old, the oldest and rarest expression ever released under the Van Winkle name,"
""Originally filled into its hand-engraved Glencairn crystal decanter in 2017, Bottle #706 was safely tucked away at Buffalo Trace Distillery, untouched for nearly a decade. As one of the final bottles from the original 710 produced, it emerges as more than a rare collectible: a once-hidden treasure made available for enjoyment by today's enthusiasts. Beyond its rarity, this archival bottle carries a provenance and a story that elevate it into the realm of legend, offering the opportunity to experience a true piece of bourbon history.""
The 2025 Van Winkle Collection includes Old Rip Van Winkle Handmade Bourbon 10 Year Old; Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old; Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13 Year Old; and Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 15, 20, and 23 Year Old expressions. Legacy de Forge, a new global platform tied to Sazerac, will run exclusive rare whiskey auctions in September. The headline lot is a single bottle of Old Rip Van Winkle 25 Year Old paired with a private tasting with Julian P. Van Winkle III. Bottle #706 was filled into a hand-engraved Glencairn decanter in 2017 and held at Buffalo Trace until now. The auction also includes O.F.C. 2006, Colonel E.H. Taylor Distiller's Council, and a Stagg Single Barrel.
