Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 15 Year Old Bourbon

nTHE STORY
n
nIn 1893, Julian Pappy Van Winkle Sr. began working as a traveling salesman for the W.L. Weller & Sons Company in Louisville, Kentucky. Weller & Sons was a liquor wholesaler and sold bourbon behind various labels, including Old Fitzgerald and Rebel Yell.
n
nAfter the turn of the century, Van Winkle purchased Weller & Sons Co., together with the Stitzel Distillery (the distillery produced most of the bourbons sold by the wholesaler), and merged the two companies.
n
nWhile Prohibition forced most distilleries to close their doors soon thereafter, Van Winkle was granted a license to continue operating his distillery and producing whiskey for medicinal purposes.
n
nBy the time of his death in 1966 (at the age of 91), Van Winkle was the oldest active distiller in the country.
n
nVan Winkle Bourbons pays homage to one of the whiskey industry’s founding fathers. This bottling is a real treat for any wheated whiskey lover and a truly monumental American whiskey experience.
n
nCrafted with the exclusive Van Winkle family recipe, it’s drawn from the finest barrels in the heart of the Kentucky warehouse, where they have spent 15 years. Rich, decadent, and full-bodied, it features an intense profile with caramel, toffee, spice, and wood notes.
