Description

Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 15 Year Old Straight Bourbon is one of the most sought-after bourbons in the world, known for its exceptional quality and rich, complex flavors. It is expressly crafted from the exclusive Van Winkle family wheated recipe and carefully chosen from barrels in the heart of the aging warehouses. This bourbon matured undisturbed for 15 years in deep-charred heavy oak, untouched by human hands, guided only by time. Aged for 15 years, this bourbon delivers a deep and intense profile, with prominent notes of vanilla, caramel, and aged oak.

Nose
Elegant and sweet aroma with caramel corn, vanilla, caramelized oak, brown sugar, hints of toasted spice and tobacco. Deep and sweet with concentrated fruit like wine gums, orange marmalade, black cherries, brown sugar, root beer, strong oak, waxed leather, and varnished furniture. Cherry, almond, and mild oak.
Palate
Silky and full-bodied with an indulgent blend of toffee, caramel, and peppery brown spice, wrapped in sweet oak and subtle nuttiness. Thick and rich, buttery, with butterscotch, slight vanilla, baking spice, and bitter dark chocolate. Impressive swell of flavors and a syrupy mouthfeel, deep aged vanilla extract, and notes of donuts. Rich, supple entry with intense caramel, toffee, and peppery brown spice flavors. Thick and creamy texture with rich dark fruit, browned butter, chocolate chips, strong spicy cinnamon, maraschino cherries, papaya, banana, mango, roasted nuts, grilled corn tortillas, and citrus tartness.
Finish
Smooth with notes of spice and oak tannins. Extreme, long, complex, evolving fade of spice and wood notes. Long, warm, and satisfying. Lingering texture with melted butter and sugar syrup on pancakes, bananas foster, brown sugar, sugared orange zest, Juicy Fruit gum, papaya, chocolate-covered strawberries, hibiscus tea, moderate oak, and slight earthiness.
