Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year Old Whiskey

Pappy Van Winkle 20

Incredibly old for a bourbon, this bottling of Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve was aged for 20 years and retains a beautiful sweetness, a perfect digestif  bourbon.

Tasting Note

Nose: Stewed fruits on the nose, sweet spices, oiliness, white chocolate, walnut.

Palate: Rich, soft and sweet oak with custard. The mouth feel is like silk, and Preston Van Winkle likens this to a classic Cognac, and we reckon he’s onto something. The maturity, smooth/oily feel of this on the tongue, coupled with musty fruitiness.

Finish: Good length, with hints of honeycomb, peppery spices and prune.

Overall: Heaven!
