What is Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year worth?

Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year holds its value because it is the first step into the Van Winkle lineup, and that whole lineup is hard to find. It's a wheated bourbon aged ten years and bottled at 107 proof, made at Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky. Like the rest of the Van Winkle bottles, it is released once a year in the fall in small numbers, so collectors who want the full set often start here.

What your bottle is worth depends on its condition. A sealed bottle with the capsule and any tax strip intact, a fill line up in the neck, a clean label and a sound cork brings the most. Scuffs, stains or a sunken cork lower the offer. The release year matters less than condition on this bottle, though older years still draw interest.

Our typical offer for a sealed, full Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year is $325 cash. Send us a few photos and you'll have a firm offer within 48 hours, with a packing kit shipped to your door.
