Detailed Description
As rare as hen’s teeth, today Pappy Van Winkle’s 20 Year Old Family Reserve Bourbon is one of the most sought-after and scarce bourbon whiskeys around. The perfect digestif bourbon, and one likened to fine, after-dinner cognacs, this wheated bourbon from Old Rip Van Winkle is a truly superior tasting experience that brings beautiful, syrupy sweetness to the palate. Produced in incredibly small batches and extremely hard to get, the 20 Year Old Family Reserve is a showcase investment piece for any serious whiskey connoisseur’s collection.
