What is Van Winkle Family Reserve 13 Year Rye worth?

Van Winkle Family Reserve 13 Year Rye holds its value as the only rye whiskey in the Van Winkle lineup. It's a straight rye aged thirteen years and bottled at 95.6 proof, released once a year in the fall alongside the Van Winkle bourbons. Because it is the one rye in the set, collectors building a full Van Winkle lineup need it, and it is made in some of the smallest numbers of all.

What your bottle is worth depends on its condition. A sealed bottle with the capsule and any tax strip intact, a full fill line, a clean label and a sound cork brings the most. An original box or bag helps where the bottle came with one. The release year matters too, so a clear photo of the back label helps us give you an exact offer.

Our typical offer for a sealed, full Van Winkle Family Reserve 13 Year Rye is $400 cash. Send us a few photos and you'll have a firm offer within 48 hours, with a packing kit shipped to your door.
