Why Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon is So Highly Coveted
Pappy Van Winkle is the crown jewel among rare whiskeys: highly coveted, super expensive and nearly impossible to find.
This famed Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey is produced by the Van Winkle family in partnership with Buffalo Trace distillery, who have been in the whiskey business for over 200 years. Pappy Van Winkle is a highly sought-after family of American whiskeys that have ridden a meteoric trajectory to fame. It’s one of the most expensive on the market, and connoisseurs go to great lengths to get their hands on a bottle. Each year, only a limited number of bottles are released, which drives up the price and contributes to the bourbon’s exclusivity.
THE COLLECTION
OLD RIP VAN WINKLE – 10YR (107 PROOF)
VAN WINKLE SPECIAL RESERVE – 12YR (90.4 PROOF)
Van Winkle Special Reserve is the perfect combination of age and proof. This sweet, full-bodied whiskey has been described by some as “nectar.” The 12 years of aging and medium proof seem to be just right in creating a very pleasant drink of whiskey. This fine bourbon can compete with any excellent cognac as an after-dinner drink. The overall impression is rich and deep.
VAN WINKLE FAMILY RESERVE RYE – 13YR (95.6 PROOF)
Until now, most rye whiskeys were 4 years old or younger. This 13-year rye is one of the oldest rye whiskeys available today. The maturity it has achieved while aging is quite obvious as you take the first sip. Rye whiskey lovers who try this bottling will never look back at the younger versions again.
PAPPY VAN WINKLE’S FAMILY RESERVE – 15YR (107 PROOF)
This bourbon was crafted according to our exclusive family wheated recipe. The smooth, oak flavor blends well with the barrel proof. Selected from barrels in the heart of our Kentucky warehouse, this bourbon has remained untouched for 15 years and unhurried by time.
PAPPY VAN WINKLE’S FAMILY RESERVE – 20YR (90.4 PROOF)
No other bourbon today can stand 20 years of aging, but this bourbon does it with style. “Pappy” Van Winkle was a true character. This bourbon, like “Pappy,” is full of personality that makes it a very special whiskey, and some might argue, one of our best bourbons. It has been put in the class of a fine after-dinner cognac.
PAPPY VAN WINKLE’S FAMILY RESERVE – 23YR (95.6 PROOF)
Only the most careful and expensive distilling method can be used to create a whiskey as special as this one. These barrels were carefully selected from the heart of the warehouse for an added three years of aging. This signature whiskey is best enjoyed neat. Any ice or water will dilute its uniqueness.
