Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 15 Year is the bottle that put modern bourbon on the world map — a 15-year wheated Kentucky straight bourbon, distilled at Buffalo Trace and hand-selected by Julian Van Winkle III. At a robust 107 proof and aged a decade and a half in deeply charred new American oak, this small-batch release layers vanilla, caramel, leather, dark fruit and dark chocolate over the soft wheated sweetness the Van Winkle name is built on. Non-chill-filtered, hand-dipped in red wax, individually numbered, and famously the most allocated wheated bourbon in American whiskey.

Nose
Vanilla bean, caramel, worn leather, dark stone fruit, and rich toasted oak — unmistakably Pappy.
Palate
Brown sugar, baked apple, cinnamon, butterscotch and dark chocolate, with a gentle wheated softness that carries every flavour without heat.
Finish
Long and layered. Lingering caramel, espresso, oak tannin and a faint whisper of pipe tobacco.
Flavor
Serving Suggestion
Best served neat in a Glencairn or rocks glass at room temperature. A single large ice sphere will open the wheated sweetness without taming the 107-proof warmth.
Food Pairings
Aged cheddar, dark chocolate, smoked brisket, bone-in ribeye, crème brûlée, and toasted pecans.
