Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year Old Family Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

This very rare, limited edition bourbon takes generations of distilling know-how to produce. Only the most careful and expensive distilling method can be used to create a whiskey as special as this one. Each barrel ages for 23 years and is carefully selected from the heart of the warehouse. This whiskey should be enjoyed neat.

Tasting Notes:

Early aromas of caramel and cream with soft notes of oak, nuts and leather. Features a sweet taste composed of vanilla, maple and honey joined by complimentary flavors of citrus and spice. Has a long lasting oaky finish, along with many of the early flavors.

"100/100 — Yup, this is the real deal and does kind of standalone as a stellar yet classic bourbon for its MSRP price point. While it’s not reinventing the wheel or taking bourbon to new heights, it is probably the most classic example of a perfect bourbon on the planet earth." - Zach Johnston, Uproxx

"There’s not much left to say about this bottling – aside from a few dissenting voices who complain it’s over-oaked, it’s beloved by virtually everyone. It’s also pretty much impossible to find, and back-breakingly expensive if you ever do manage to track a bottle down." - Margarett Waterbury, The Whiskey Wash (90 Points)

"One of the holy grails of bourbon is to produce a consistently a 23-25 year old bourbon which is still sweet and not tannin dominated: no easy task. [this is] unquestionably drier... there are still sugars enough to give some fabulous moments on the palate. The tannins do though, still have the biggest say. But remember, this whiskey has matured for a very long time." - Jim Murray, Whisky Bible (95 Points)
