Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 15 Year Bourbon
Crafted from the Van Winkle family's wheated recipe and distilled at Buffalo Trace, the 15 Year Family Reserve spends fifteen years mellowing into the silky, dessert-like character that made Pappy Van Winkle a cultural phenomenon. Allocation is brutally limited, and lottery wins are the only realistic path to retail price.
