Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 20 Year Old Bourbon Pre-2006 / Raised Lettering, Stitzel Weller
This older Pappy 20 Year Old was bottled between 2002-2006- before Buffalo Trace began adding its own distillate to the original Stitzel Weller stock. At 90.4 proof (45.2 % ABV), it shows the signature wheated mash-bill softness that made early Pappy releases cult legends among serious bourbon collectors.

Profile
Deep amber color. The nose layers dried fig, orange oil, and old library oak. Palate opens with toffee and dark honey, gliding into cinnamon-dusted pecan, pipe tobacco, and subtle spearmint. A long, warming finish echoes vanilla pod and antique furniture polish- the unmistakable Stitzel-Weller fingerprint.
