This 10-year-old bourbon/whiskey is the youngest of Pappy Van Winkle’s award-winning line-up and is bottled as close to barrel proof as possible by adding a splash of limestone well-water prior to bottling. This also ensures that the whiskey remains exceptionally smooth.
The 10-year aging period in 100% new oak results in toasted wood and strong vanilla flavours to be imparted in the whisky resulting in a buttery mouth-feel, big caramel notes and a long spicy finish.
Only small quantities of this expression are made available each year with a handful of bottles making it to Australian shores so be sure to add one to your collection or drinking stock today.
NOSE. Soft and clean. Notes of delicious apples and candy cane followed by vanilla, corn and caramel.
PALATE. Buttery and viscous with notes of honey, espresso coffee and toffee alongside soft oak
FINISH. Warm and spicy with a candy floss and ginger a cookie finish
