Collector’s Item 20 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon (1976 Release)

An exceptionally rare bourbon from the Collector’s Item series, bottled at 20 years old by Dowling Distillers. The bourbon was aged in bonded warehouses at Hoffman Distillery, which later became Old Commonwealth. Notably, this is the same distillery where Julian Van Winkle III bottled his famed Old Rip Van Winkle brand. He acquired the distillery from Ben Ripy in 1983, around the time this bottle was produced.
