Summary auto-generated & verified by our team for accuracy.

Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year Old Family Reserve Bourbon is a highly sought-after Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey aged for 15 years and bottled at 107 proof. This expression represents the Pappy Van Winkle family's exclusive wheated mashbill recipe, selected from core warehouse stocks.

Originally associated with the Stitzel-Weller distillery founded by Julian 'Pappy' Van Winkle Sr., the brand persevered after the family sold the distillery. Julian Van Winkle III eventually moved bottling operations and secured whiskey stocks to continue the legacy, introducing the Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve line. Since 2002, the Pappy Van Winkle bourbons have been distilled and bottled by the Sazerac Company at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. This 15 Year Old expression, introduced in 2004 to replace the Old Rip Van Winkle 15 Year, uses the traditional wheated bourbon recipe. Barrels are chosen from the heart of the Kentucky warehouse and aged without interference for fifteen years, resulting in a smooth, oak-forward profile complemented by the 107 proof strength. Its scarcity and connection to the Van Winkle heritage make it one of the most desired American whiskeys.

Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year Old Family Reserve is released annually in limited quantities and is considered a highly allocated bourbon.

Tasting Notes

Buttery and very rum-like in the mouth. Candy floss sweetness, caramel richness, and the softest, juiciest oak imaginable.

Wood, but so very balanced with nuttiness, toffee and a rum-like complexity, that it’s just perfect. Wood shavings, hints of dried berry fruits, and a faint shade of pepper provide a mouth-watering aroma.

Hints of exotic spices combine with Demerara. Long and rich.
