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. Wine Enthusiast rating: 99 "Sophisticated and full of character, this is a very special whiskey with a wonderfully smooth, rich taste." -Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal
Featured in the 1001 whiskies you must try before you die book "This retains wheated Bourbon character that is lost to the wood in older expressions. The flavours are outsized: plenty of wood, but also rich caramel and vanilla."
