Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year 2017 is a highly sought-after Kentucky straight bourbon from the Van Winkle family range, prized for its long maturation, limited annual release and trophy-bottle status.
From the Producer
Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 23 Year is the pinnacle of the Van Winkle range and one of the longest-aged bourbons produced for the Van Winkle family, with each barrel aged for 23 years and hand-selected from the heart of the warehouse. The bourbon uses the family's wheated mash bill — wheat in place of rye alongside corn and malted barley — which is what allows such long maturation without harshness. Production moved fully to Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky in 2002, with the Family Reserve line bottled by Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery at 95.6 proof (47.8% ABV).
