Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 23 Year Old Bourbon 

"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."

Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year Old Bourbon is a rare and coveted spirit, carefully crafted and aged to perfection. Made with a unique blend of corn, rye, and barley malt, this bourbon is mellowed for over two decades in oak barrels, resulting in a smooth and complex flavor profile.

On the nose, it exhibits rich aromas of vanilla, caramel, and oak, with hints of dark fruit and spice. The palate is equally indulgent, with flavors of toffee, honey, and butterscotch, balanced by a subtle bitterness and a long, warming finish.

Pappy Van Winkle's 23 Year Old Bourbon is a true masterpiece and a must-try for anyone who appreciates the finer things in life. Whether you're a seasoned bourbon aficionado or just getting started on your journey of discovery, this is one spirit that you won't want to miss.

Pappy Van Winkle might just be the most famous name in Bourbon today, with some Los Angeles bars charging $500 for just one shot of 23 Year Old, but that wasn't always the case.

The Old Rip Van Winkle brand was a pre-prohibition bourbon label, revived by the Van Winkle family after they were forced to sell their Stitzel-Weller distillery by its board of directors. New owners, Somerset Imports, granted Julian Van Winkle II (son of the famous 'Pappy') the continued use of an office at the distillery, and first option on purchasing casks to bottle his new brand with.

When he died and the business passed to his son, Julian III, this courtesy was no longer extended, and he moved bottling to the old Hoffman distillery in Lawrenceburg in 1983, renaming it Old Commonwealth. He was still able to buy Stitzel-Weller stock though, and introduced the famous Pappy Van Winkle range in homage to his grandfather, using well-aged barrels from the distillery the now-legendary figure once so lovingly ran.
