Van Winkle Family Reserve 13 rye

Did anyone else who picked up a new bottle this past week notice the lettering started back at 'A' again? It was a few miles from my house so I highly doubt it was sitting there for any extended period of time.

They went back to A on the new release if I am not mistaken

The VWFRR is definitely tricky to find, at least around here. But I did snag one on Monday for $40 and still have two in the bunker. Hooray!

Sweet!! Nice pick. I would be happy to find some at $58.

All of the bottles I've picked up in the last year or so have an "A" on them.

Still can't find this stuff anywhere, A letter or B thru I letters.

Patience. I must learn patience.

Well it finally paid off. Picked up two bottles of VWFRR today for about $60 /bottle. Was down to the last bottle and starting getting nervous. I think I should open one immediately and take the edge off.

Forgot to mention the 2 bottles I picked up are also labeled "A".

A is the current release. Not sure why they started over.

Is the current release still the older aged tanked stuff? I recall another post in which Julian stated all the VWFRR was left over aged rye that they finally tanked. The more recent bottles actually have rye that's been aged 18-19 years. ???

A is the current release. Not sure why they started over.

According to Julian in post 35 in this thread, they started over with A in 2008.

Apparently they printed lots of labels as they are still at A in 2010. It looks like the label lettering is no longer an indicator of the release year.
