product Details

Vintage Bourbon 17 Year Old

Vintage Bourbon is a boutique brand owned by Allied Lomar in California, who's other products include Rare Perfection, Wattie Boone and Very Olde St Nick. They have been sourcing whiskey and bottling it for several decades, and they are instantly recognisable from their uniform use of the same cursive script-style typeface. Allied Lomar president, Marci Palatella, was Julian Van Winkle III's agent in the Japanese market for many years, and their early bottlings were contracted to him at his Old Commonwealth distillery. Allied Lomar opened their own Preservation distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky in 2018.

The Van Winkle partnership with the Sazerac company in the early 2000's ended this agreement however, with the production of bottles such as this moved to Willett distillery, where they were bottled by its owners, Evan Kulsveen's Kentucky Bourbon Distillers. The stills at Willett were silent at this point and most of the well-aged bourbon in the KBD warehouses was the unused Cream of Kentucky distilled by Schenley at Bernheim. 

This incredibly rare example was bottled by KBD using 17 year old barrels.
