What Stitzel-Weller bourbon is left, and available for purchase, today?
Let's start a list. And I don't mean dusties.

Three of the four are Van Winkles. The Van Winkle family owned Stitzel-Weller until 1972 and thereafter built a small business on whiskey acquired from their former family distillery. These bottlings represent the SW whiskey the Van Winkles have left. The Jefferson is Trey Zoeller, who supposedly obtained some of the barrels Diageo was saving for Crown Royal.
SW closed in 1992 (some say 1991) and what's left is from those last couple of distilling seasons. Everything else out there is dusties.
