The Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year “Simpsons Last Resort” is a unique release from Lawrenceburg, bottled in 1999 and bearing the signature style of the Van Winkle family. Distilled before the brand’s move to Buffalo Trace, this expression hails from a period when Old Rip Van Winkle was produced at the old Stitzel-Weller and later at the Old Commonwealth distillery. The “Simpsons Last Resort” label signals a special bottling, likely for a private account or exclusive event, making it especially coveted among collectors. At 90.4 proof, it reflects the era’s preference for well-matured, balanced bourbon. The hand-applied labels and distinctive shape evoke the late-20th-century Van Winkle aesthetic, which has become increasingly rare. Bottles like this offer a tangible link to the legacy of one of Kentucky’s most storied bourbon families and a glimpse into the pre-Buffalo Trace Van Winkle era.
