Old Rip Van Winkle 23 Year Presentation Case w/ Glencairn Crystal Decanter and 2 Glasses 750mL

Limited Edition Set. Distilled in 1986, bottle 684 of 1200, in wooden presentation case with Glencairn Crystal decanter and 2 glasses What’s special about this bourbon — and most other Van Winkle bourbons — is that it incorporates wheat, not rye, into its corn mash. Wheated bourbon generally gives the spirit a sweeter, smoother taste than rye bourbons and allows it to age for longer periods of time. But don’t let the word smooth fool you. Although full of sweet flavors like vanilla and toasty oak, Pappy’s bourbon packs heat, which expresses itself in the long, spicy finish. The 23 Year is the smoothest of the three and is characterized by a deep amber color and complex flavors of honey and toffee, although its lengthy aging time also makes it the rarest. If it is unavailable, look for the two younger versions of Pappy’s elixir, a must-try for American whiskey enthusiasts.

The Old Rip Van Winkle 23 Year decanter set: 23-year-old wheated bourbon distilled in 1986, bottled at 114 proof and presented in a Glencairn crystal decanter with two glasses in a wooden case. It is a separate, stronger release from the regular Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year.


About This Bourbon

This set is its own release. Standard Pappy 23 is bottled at 95.6 proof, while this whiskey went into the bottle at 114 proof (57% ABV). Around 1,200 sets were made. Each Glencairn crystal decanter comes with two matching glasses in a presentation box, and the set is valued for being complete and in good condition as much as for the whiskey.


Tasting Profile

  • Nose: Deep oak, dark caramel and vanilla, with leather, dried cherry and tobacco.
  • Palate: Dense and warming at full strength, with toffee, baked fruit, cinnamon and old wood.
  • Finish: Very long, drying through oak tannin and spice with a sweet caramel edge.

Serving & Food

Pour a small measure into one of the set's Glencairn glasses at room temperature and let it breathe before tasting. At 114 proof, a few drops of water help. Serve on its own, or with dark chocolate truffles, a fine cigar or roasted almonds.


How to Enjoy

Serious bourbon collections and landmark occasions, ideally kept as a complete set with its case and glasses.

About the Distillery

The Pappy Van Winkle name as a label is younger than most people assume. Julian Van Winkle III launched Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 20 Year in 1994, and it was well received enough to put the family back on the map. Pappy 23 followed in 1998, bottled in faintly green glass in Lawrenceburg. The very old stocks behind these bottlings date from before the 2002 partnership with Buffalo Trace, when the family bought and held aged barrels from several Kentucky sources and hand-picked each lot.
