Bottling Notes

Although the embossing under the bottle says '80', this expression was not bottled at Stitzel Weller in Louisville. It was bottled sometime from 1983 onward when Julian Van Winkle bought the old Hoffman distillery and started bottling in Lawrenceburg.
A super-rare expression that would be the cornerstone of any bourbon/whiskey collection

The wooden box is not official. Japanese importers often made their own boxes to accompany these rare Japanese ORVW releases.
