Pappy Van Winkle’s 20-year-old Family Reserve Bourbon from the year 2013 is an iconic whiskey that has been aged for a minimum of 20 years in new charred white oak barrels, resulting in a lusciously smooth 90.4 proof dram. With an annual release of less than 10,000 cases per state, Pappy 20 is a rare and highly sought-after whiskey that any true bourbon aficionado would love to add to their collection. This particular release was sourced from Stitzel-Weller and is made up of 100% Buffalo Trace bourbon with a high-wheat mash bill that remains undisclosed. The nose is a beautiful blend of butter, vanilla-dipped plums, caramel, and raisins soaked in coffee, while the palate offers hints of dried oak, apples, syrupy fruit, and wood layered in oily varnish.
