Release: 2020
This 2020 release, award-winning and full-bodied Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 15-year-old bourbon/whiskey is a mighty expression. Although not the oldest member of Pappy Van Winkle’s family, this 15-year-old has the highest proof at 53.5%alc.
These bottles are drawn from hand-selected, deeply charred, heavy oak barrels and are aged undisturbed and untouched by human hands for 15 years. The time allows the flavours from the oak to mellow while the flavours from the base elements intensify. If you have an opportunity to taste this rare release, expect complex and rich notes of dark fruits, deep spice, vanilla and caramel.
Only small quantities are made available each year with a handful of bottles making it to Australian shores so we’ll be running a ballot style system to sell these beauties. Make sure you’re subscribed to our website to be first to find out more.

Our Tasting Notes:
Delicate yet spicy with just the right amount of warm toffee. Vanilla ice cream and corn bread greet the nose followed by layers of old encyclopedias and dark fruits on the palate with an exquisite crescendo that is oaky and as sweet as the night is long.
A bourbon whiskey for the ages.
