Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 15-Year Bourbon

Pappy Van Winkle’s 15-Year Family Reserve is widely considered the sweet spot in the Van Winkle lineup. Aged for 15 years and bottled at 107 proof (53.5% ABV), this wheated bourbon delivers an exceptional balance of richness, spice, oak, and smoothness.

• Nose: Dark caramel, vanilla, aged oak, cinnamon, and dried fruit
• Palate: Buttery smooth with deep layers of butterscotch, maple syrup, nutmeg, and tobacco
• Finish: Long, warm, and slightly spicy with lingering oak, caramel, and baking spices

Compared to Pappy 20-Year, the 15-Year has a bolder, more vibrant profile with less oak dominance but still plenty of deep complexity.

Best Way to Drink It
• Neat: The best way to experience the full depth of flavors.
• With a Few Drops of Water: Opens up additional layers of sweetness and spice.
• On the Rocks: If you prefer it slightly chilled
