When it comes to getting your hands on Pappy Van Winkle's (PVW) Family Reserve — often regarded as one of the finest Bourbons in the world — you've got to have some grit and wit. Low production + insanely high demand = a cult-like following that's not to be messed with.

This bottling of Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve is aged for 20 years, which makes it incredibly old for a Bourbon. The most iconic of PVW expressions, it's described as intensely sweet and rich with thick vanilla, spice, cinnamon and dark fruit flavors.

Hey, even bad guys know a good Bourbon. Nine Bourbon-bandits were arrested in 2015 for stealing bottles of Pappy from the distillery. Bourbon Rule #243: Never mess with the Cult of Pappy.

*This bottle is a collector's item, we will not be able to entertain any refunds or exchanges.

Worth the Hype

Out of all the Van Winkles, this is the first that reaches a new level and is worth the hype. Now, worth the price? That is for you to decide. Old rip 10 yr, Van Winkle 12 yr, and Pappy Van Winkle 15 could all mix in with a blind taste test and I bet you wouldn't choose them over some other $70 bottles. The 20 year is a whole new level of smoothness that barely even hints at a burn in the back of your palate. The flavors are complex and do fit well with the dark fruit description. Maybe go to a place where you can get a pour to decide if it is worth it to buy a bottle. I was more convinced it was worth it after trying a pour.
