Van Winkle 2025 Australian Release

Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13 Year

A rye so mature it almost masquerades as bourbon.

750ml Straight rye whiskey Frankfort, Kentucky

The oldest rye in the Van Winkle line-up, bottled by Buffalo Trace Distillery after 13 years in oak.

The release

Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13 Year is one of the oldest and most celebrated rye whiskeys available. The remarkable maturity achieved during 13 years of ageing creates a uniquely refined spirit that almost masquerades as bourbon.

Each bottle delivers a silky mouthfeel with dark honey, peach, cherry and vanilla balanced by rye spice, cinnamon and refined oak. The finish is buttery and elegant with subtle spice that lingers beautifully.
