The 2003 "Sam's Wines & Spirits" private barrel selection of Old Rip Van Winkle 15-Year is an extremely rare, highly coveted collector's item, often fetching over $15,000 at auction. Bottled around 2003, this 107-proof, Stitzel-Weller-distilled bourbon features a unique "stamp-like" label, representing one of the few non-chill filtered (NCF) private picks from that era.

Origin: Selected by the renowned Chicago liquor store Sam's Wines & Spirits before its 2009 acquisition by Binny's.
Rarity: Pre-dates the mainstream Buffalo Trace partnership for this specific, rare private barrel, making it a true "unicorn" bottle.
Profile: Features the iconic 107 proof and 15-year age statement, generally expected to have a rich, oaky profile with notes of cherry, leather, and toffee.
Label: Identified by a distinct "stamp-like" marking on the lower middle of the label.
