Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 23 Years Old
Description
Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 23 Year is the pinnacle of the Van Winkle range — a rare, limited-edition wheated bourbon aged 23 years and bottled at 95.6 proof, with barrels carefully selected from the heart of the warehouse for an added three years of aging.
Producing a whiskey this special takes generations of distilling know-how and the most careful, expensive methods. Each barrel ages for 23 years and is hand-selected from the heart of the warehouse. Produced at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky using the Van Winkle family's wheated recipe, the 23 Year is a monumental American whiskey experience and a tribute to Julian "Pappy" Van Winkle, one of the bourbon industry's founding figures.
It is best enjoyed neat — any ice or water dilutes its uniqueness.
