The Old Rip Van Winkle brand was a pre-prohibition bourbon label, revived by the Van Winkle family after they were forced to sell their Stitzel-Weller distillery by its board of directors. New owners Somerset Imports granted Julian Van Winkle II the continued use of an office at the distillery, and first option on purchasing casks to bottle his new brand with.

When he died and the business passed to his son, Julian III,he moved bottling to the old Hoffman distillery in Lawrenceburg in 1983, renaming it Old Commonwealth.

He was still able to buy Stitzel-Weller stock though, and introduced the famous Pappy Van Winkle range in homage to his grandfather. Using using well-aged barrels from the distillery the now-legendary figure once so lovingly ran.
