United States – American Whiskies/Bourbon
Pappy Van Winkle 15 year Family Reserve Bourbon 750ml ($64.99) Currently Not Available. Limited to quanity on hand only. We can’t honor bottles sold into the negative. My grandfather, Julian P. “Pappy” Van Winkle, Sr., started working as a salesman for W.L. Weller & Sons wholesale in Louisville, KY in 1893 at the age of eighteen, just after he graduated from Centre College in Danville, KY. This bourbon represents 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 was specially selected from barrels in the heart of our warehouses here in Kentucky. It 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 name upon it.

Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 20 yr Bourbon 750ml ($99.99) Currenty Not Available! Almost gone until the begining of September! Limited to quanity on hand only. We can’t honor bottles sold into the negative. 99 points Beverage Tasting Institute: “The ‘Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve’ is aged for 20 years, and bottled at 90.4 proof. This whiskey is wonderfully smooth and rich. No other bourbon today can stand 20 years of aging, but this bourbon does it with style. ‘Pappy Van Winkle’ was a true character. This bourbon, like ‘Pappy’, is full of the character that makes it a very special whiskey. It, too, has been put in a class of a fine after dinner cognac.” 99 points Wine Enthusiast: “The nose is intensely fruited but also bears a tantalizing citrus zest note. The body is huge and almost chewable, and the palate is tremendously buttery with some sherry notes, a dash of dried fruits and some rich, creamy vanilla. The finish is long and elegant.”
Van Winkle Family Reserve 13 year Rye – 8 available ($69.99) Limited to quanity on hand only. We can’t honor bottles sold into the negative. This 13-year rye breaks the mold. It’s the original aged rye whiskey. The maturity it has received while aging is quite obvious when you take the first sip. Flavors include cocoa, vanilla, spice and white pepper. Rye whiskey lovers who try this bottling will never again look back at the younger versions. Rated 95 – Beverage Tasting Institute Paul Pacult’s Spirit Journal `Rating: Four Stars!
Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 year “Lot B” Bourbon 750ml – 8 available ($49.50) Almost gone until the begining of September! Limited to quanity on hand only. We can’t honor bottles sold into the negative. Van Winkle Special Reserve is the perfect combination of age and proof. This sweet, full bodied whiskey has been described by some as “nectar.” We agree! The 12 years of aging and medium proof of 45.2 ABV (90.4 proof) seem to be just right in creating a very pleasant drink of whiskey. This fine whiskey can compete with any excellent cognac as an after dinner drink. The overall impression is rich and deep. (Van Winkle Tasting Notes) “Well crafted,… elegant, stately… balanced beautifully,” – Paul Pacult’s SPIRIT JOURNAL Rated 98 – Beverage Tasting Institute
