Description

Julian P. "Pappy" Van Winkle Sr. truly was a wise man who kicked off a family of fine bourbon makers with his mantra to make the spirit "at a profit if we can, at a loss if we must, but always a fine bourbon". In 1893, he set out as a travelling salesman for W. L. Weller & Sons until eventually he and a friend saved up to purchase what would become known as the Stitzel-Weller Distillery. This Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 20 Year Old is a highly acclaimed, rare, and sought-after Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, aged for two decades, known for its smooth and rich profile. It is distilled and bottled by the Sazerac Company at its Buffalo Trace Distillery.
