Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 23 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey 750ml (Kentucky, USA)

Home to one of the highest rated whiskeys in the world, Pappy Van Winkle products are produced in limited quantities at the Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery. The 23 year old began as a semi-annual bottling in 2005 that would quickly sell out upon release. With a history dating back to the late 1800s when Julian P. (Pappy) Van Winkle began spruiking the virtues of great Bourbon Whiskey on the road, today Pappy Van Winkle is honoured with this 23 Year Old Bourbon made by Pappy’s Grandson, Julian III. Whiskey’s like this rare and unique ‘wheated malt’ take generations of distilling know-how to produce and only the most careful distilling methods can be used. The result is a near perfect Bourbon of epic proportions. Secure your bottle now.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Deep, powerful and concentrated. This has moved into almost rancio territory: eucalypt/laurel, spice, burnt orange peel, apple, pear, biscuity wood.

Palate: Soft and surprisingly delicate given the age. A charred note adds to the complexity. Gentle and elegant: cigar box, prune, molasses, soot.

Finish: Long. In fact it’s very, very long and complex.

Comment: A subtle sipper to be taken neat and definitely without ice!
