Simply stated, Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve Fifteen year-old Bourbon is a dream bottle for every fan of American Spirits.
Some argue, but since the original distillery building on this site dates from 1775, most folks consider the Buffalo Trace Distillery to be the oldest continually operating distillery in the US. It sits on the banks of the Ohio River in Frankfort, Kentucky, on the same 150 acres — completing 245 years of continuous operation. It even used the "medicinal" loophole to operate during Prohibition. Now owned by Sazerac, its history includes a veritable Who’s-Who of historic Bourbon owners and Master Distillers who continue today to craft some of the finest and most popular Whiskey brands in America.
The line of Van Winkle Bourbons from the Buffalo Trace Distillery are legendary. Each release is over-subscribed. So much so that there is a thriving secondary market. And due to a higher level of evaporation, the 2020 release across the entire line will be a bit tighter than usual. But….
We have access to a few cases of Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve Bourbon 15 Year Old. If you are a Pappy fan, you know that the exact mash bill is a state secret. But it is a wheated dram that goes into the barrel soft (114 proof), has been aged in the "sweet spot" of the rickhouse for fifteen years, and is bottled at 53.5% ABV. This is a dream-bottle. First come, first served.
Smartass Corner:
Julian "Pappy”" Van Winkle Sr. started his career at the age of eighteen as a wholesaler for W.L. Weller & Sones Distillery in 1893. Mergers, acquisitions, and Prohibition interrupted things here and there. But the name and reputation was revitalized by Pappy’s son, and now grandson — Julian Preston Van Winkle III.

Tasting Notes
Appearance / Color
Burnished Copper
Nose / Aroma / Smell
The aroma is a delightful sniff of warm English toffee, allspice, apricot, and chipotle.
Flavor / Taste / Palate
The palate is downright decadent with a rich and thick mouth-feel basking the tongue with notes spice cake, more English toffee, stone fruits, and even a light hint of mint.
Finish
The finish is gloriously long and complex with a slow, meandering fade of toffee, spices, and heavy wood.

Jeremy,
I found this gem while on a work training. Tremendous.
Todd,
Probably the best bourbon 🥃 I will ever enjoy. Gave it 9 stars plus -
Edwardo,
Worth trying a pour or two just to say you did. You can enjoy 15 to 30 different top notch varieties/bottles for the price of a single bottle of pappy.
Nicholas,
Slayed the Unicorn. This is a bold pour that can be harsh at first but mellows as you drink through. After a few sips the full flavor was present. Now to slay its older brother.
Theress,
Hard to find, but it is the Best drink I have ever had. Even my friends who hate whiskey love this one.
