Product Description

Pappy completes a round at the 18th with his faithful "Caddy," (and sometimes hunting dog) Buck. The character of this fine old Kentucky bourbon matches that of a true character, Julian P. "Pappy" Van Winkle, Sr. Brand Story: The #1 rated Bourbon Whiskey in the world with a 99 out of 100 rating by the World Spirits Championship. This bourbon is aged 20 years and bottled at 90.4 proof for a wonderfully smooth and rich profile. Pappy Van Winkle was a true character and like its namesake, this bourbon whiskey is full of character – quite a remarkable whiskey. Tasting Notes: Intense and tantalizing. Smooth with a citrus zest note. Some sherry notes, dried fruits and vanilla. The finish is long and elegant.

What critics and judges wrote

Whisky Advocate · John Hansell · 2005
Release not stated.Less vibrant, more mature. Less corn, more maple syrup. Less nutmeg, more teaberry. The most elegant, sexy and stylish of the three and the best dovetailing of flavors.

Distiller · Rob Morton
Release not stated.Sweet and spicy notes of cinnamon, raisins, brownies, vanilla, oak, and maple are found on the nose. … Finish is LONG with plenty of spice and more baked apple pie drizzled with vanilla-laced honey.
