Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 23 Years Old 2014 100% Stitzel-Weller

Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 23 Year is a very rare, limited-edition Kentucky straight wheated bourbon — each barrel aged 23 years and selected from the heart of the warehouse. This 2014 release is the last year of 100% Stitzel-Weller wheated bourbon. Best enjoyed neat.

Produced at Buffalo Trace using Pappy's exact recipe, the Van Winkle bourbons pay homage to one of the whiskey industry's founding fathers. The Stitzel-Weller Distillery, operated by the Van Winkle family, closed in 1992; Buffalo Trace has produced the Van Winkle bourbons since 2002.
