2016 Van Winkle Family Reserve 17 Year

The old crow traveler bottling was produced by the old crow distillery which at the time was part of the national distillers corporation portfolio. This particular bottling was made for the “traveling business man” in the 1960s and 70s.   We have a few of these from the same period, some are age stated 6 years and others are not.   This particular product sku does not guarantee an age stated bottling.

National Distillers is one of the most sought after “vintage” producers. Known for it’s beautiful flavors of baking spices, fresh cookies and cake. The old crow traveler bottles were produced for “business men” who traveled and flew on planes, created with a bottle mold that was intended to fit inside a suit jacket. Jim beam acquired all national distillers brands in 1987, eventually running out of their distillate in the early 90s. This old crow is nothing like what you can find today.
