Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year Old Bourbon 2009 Release
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.
In May of 1935 at the age of 61, Pappy opened the newly completed Stitzel-Weller Distillery in South Louisville. He had a heavy influence on the operations there until his death at the age of 91. His son, Julian, Jr. took over operations until he was forced by stockholders to sell the distillery in 1972.
It has very pleasant and lovely aromas. Full-bodied palate with intense caramel, toffee and peppery brown spice flavors. Finish with an extreme, long, complex, evolving fade of spice and wood notes.
