The Old Rip Van Winkle Limited Edition fly reel is expected to be released in the spring.
Bourbon and fishing go together like…well, actually, there is no better simile for two things that go together. But even anglers who don’t tuck a flask into their waders or tackle bags now can take along the spirit of Old Rip Van Winkle to inspire every cast and drift. If they’re lucky.
The Old Rip Van Winkle Limited Edition fly reel, expected to be released by Abel in spring 2021, is graced by artwork taken from the iconic label of Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year, which along with the coveted Pappy Van Winkle lineup, has made Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery the biggest story in bourbon over the last two decades. And with fewer than 200 reels to be made, they could prove just as hair-yankingly difficult to procure as is a unicorn-rare bottle of Pappy 23-year-old, even with a price tag likely to strike north of $2,000.
