pappy van winkle’s 15 yea tasting notes
See a hazy, copper color. Taste a rich, supple entry, leading to a decadent, huge, full-bodied palate with intense caramel, toffee and peppery brown spice flavors. Then, enjoy a finish with an extreme, long, complex, evolving fade of spice and wood notes. Experts deem it a seductive, exotic and virtually flawless bourbon.
A well aged whiskey from Old Rip Van Winkle, this bottling of Family Reserve has been aged for 15 years in heavily charred barrels. The whiskey also boasts a high wheat content in the mashbill, making for easy sipping.
Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year the Old Rip Van Winkle brand was a pre-prohibition bourbon label. Revived by the Van Winkle family after they were forced to sell their Stitzel-Weller distillery by its board of directors. New owners, Somerset Imports, granted Julian Van Winkle II (son of the famous ‘Pappy’) the continued use of an office at the distillery. First option on purchasing casks to bottle his new brand with. When he died and the business passed to his son, Julian III. This courtesy was no longer extended, and he moved bottling to the old Hoffman distillery in Lawrenceburg in 1983.
