Old Rip Van Winkle 'Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve' 15 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Limited to 1 Van Winkle product per customer every 12 months.

Manufacturer's Notes: At the age of 18, my grandfather, Julian P. "Pappy" Van Winkle, Sr., started working s a salesman for W.L. Weller & Sons Wholesale in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1892, just after he graduated from Centre College in Danville, KY. He would be known as one of the finest whiskey makers in the country.

This bourbon is a younger expression of our famous 20 year old Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve. The whiskey in this bottle was produced according to our exclusive family wheated recipe, and it was specially selected from barrels in the heart of our warehouses here in Kentucky.

This fine bourbon has remained undisturbed for 15 years to age in deep-charred heavy oak... untouched by human hands... unhurried by time. I am proud to set my family's name upon it.

Tasting Notes: An elegant and sweet aroma with caramel corn and vanilla. Features big flavor of leather, oak and complex fruitiness. Finishes smooth with notes of spice and oak tannins.
