2006 Bottling: This represents one of the last years where Stitzel-Weller bourbon was used, making these bottles particularly rare and valuable. The bourbon was likely aged and bottled at Buffalo Trace, but the core distillate came from the historic Stitzel-Weller stocks.

2006 is part of the transitional period between Stitzel-Weller and Buffalo Trace, just before the full adoption of Buffalo Trace-distilled bourbon. This makes the bottle unique, as it's from a time when some batches still contained older stocks, often referred to as "Stitzel-Weller juice."

After 2007, Pappy Van Winkle bottles contained bourbon primarily produced at Buffalo Trace, so the pre-2007 bottles are considered more collectible due to their connection to Stitzel-Weller.

Pre-2007 bottles, like this 2006 example, lack the laser-etched or dot matrix codes that became standard after 2007. For collectors, the absence of this feature makes the bottle a rarity, as these codes help authenticate later vintages. The back label code 06.6071 indicates the bottling year without the more modern coding systems.

This lack of a dot matrix code increases the intrigue for collectors, who value these bottles for their pre-modernization character.

Pre-2005 bottles often featured a wax top (last seen in 2005), whereas this 2006 bottle has a closure known as a bar-top cork stopper, sometimes referred to as a T-cork., marking it as part of the post-wax era. For collectors, the wax-topped bottles are rare and prized, but the transition to the screw cap is also notable, as it symbolizes a shift in production styles.

Both Stitzel-Weller and Buffalo Trace use the wheated bourbon mash bill (corn, wheat, and malted barley), but collectors often prefer the taste of the Stitzel-Weller era, known for its buttery, rich, and creamy mouthfeel. The bourbon in pre-2007 bottles carries the legacy of this highly revered distillate.

The clear glass and "Family Reserve" label are features of the post-1999 era when Van Winkle bottles transitioned away from the earlier green glass design. Clear glass and the classic label design, along with the Frankfort, KY address (post-2002), help confirm the provenance of this 2006 bottle.

Given the rarity of pre-2007 Pappy Van Winkle bottles, particularly those containing Stitzel-Weller bourbon, these bottles have high investment potential. Their value tends to increase over time, especially as the available supply continues to dwindle.

Collectors should note that pre-2007 Pappy Van Winkle bottles represent a bridge between the past and present of Van Winkle bourbon. With Stitzel-Weller distillate, no dot matrix codes, and design features like the T-cork, this 2006 bottle is a prized collectible that holds historical and investment significance.
