Last year's "F" series is the same whiskey. Do the letter/number codes on ALL the van winkle bottlings have a similar meanings? I recently fininshed an Old Rip Van Winkle 107 proof, 10 summers old, which has T3481 apparently hand-written on the front. As T is the 20th letter of our alphabet, has ORVW 10/107 been bottled every year since about 1986? And what exactly does the number (is this bottle 3481 out of X thousand bottles)??

jvanwinkle Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 No, the letters on the 10-year 107 proof ORVW mean nothing as far as when it was bottled.The bottling of 23-year Pappy in December will have an "A" before the number which will represent the 2005 bottling.Julian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
