Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 20 Years Old NV 750ml

Lovely. Dark, spicy-sweet, deep vanilla aroma, and unlike many Bourbons, it tastes just like it smells. Medium to heavy body, with a mellow, lingering finish. Great sipper on a blustery night.

This is the #1 rated bourbon in the world, getting 99 out of 100 points in world championship competitoin. Family Reserve is aged an unheard of 20 years, and bottles at 90.4 proof. This whiskey is wonderfully smooth and rich. No other bourbon today can stand 20 years of aging, but this bourbon does it with style. This bourbon, like “Pappy” (grandfather of the current owner), is full of character that makes it a very special whiskey. It too, has been put in the class of a fine after-dinner cognac.
