Bring us these.

  • Family Reserve 15, 20, and 23 Year, any release year
  • Older Stitzel-Weller-era Van Winkle bottlings
  • Intact capsule and label, good fill level
  • Original tube or bag helps, but isn't required

Why it’s worth a call.

Annual allocation is a fraction of demand, and it shrinks relative to the number of people hunting it every year. Sealed bottles in honest condition are the most liquid asset in American whiskey. We quote them quickly and confidently.

Condition drives the number: fill level, label, capsule, and how the bottle was stored matter more than the story that comes with it.

Every bottle is quoted individually: condition, fill, and storage drive the final number, and the quote is always free.
