Each barrel ages 23 years and is carefully selected from the heart of the warehouse. Best enjoyed neat.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2005 release is among the earliest and most collected Pappy 23 Year bottlings, produced when Buffalo Trace had recently taken over Van Winkle production (May 2002) using Pappy’s exact wheated recipe. The gold wax capsule and low bottle number make this a particularly significant collector’s item. Distilled in the heart of Kentucky at Buffalo Trace Distillery and bottled by Old Rip Van Winkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caramel and cream with soft notes of oak, nuts, and leather\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet — vanilla, maple, and honey joined by citrus and spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long-lasting and oaky, carrying the early flavors through\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve (Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey — Wheated\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23 Years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2005, Gold Wax, Bottle #15\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dipped gold wax capsule, black velvet bag\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pappy-van-winkle\"\u003ePappy Van Winkle at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pappy Van Winkle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42900760625223,"sku":"Pappy-Van-Winkle's-Family-Reserve-23-Year-Old---2005-Gold-Wax-Bottle-#15","price":9499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/Pappy_Van_Winkle_s_Family_Reserve_23_Year_Old_-_2005_Gold_Wax_1899df25-93dd-4d0e-b4c4-889e54114136.png?v=1782422564","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/pappy-van-winkles-family-reserve-23-year-old-2005-gold-wax-bottle-15","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
