2009 Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 20 Year old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

As rare as hen's teeth, today Pappy Van Winkle's 20 Year Old Family Reserve Bourbon is one of the most sought-after and scarce bourbon whiskeys around. The perfect digestif bourbon, and one likened to fine, after-dinner cognacs, this wheated bourbon from Old Rip Van Winkle is a truly superior tasting experience that brings beautiful, syrupy sweetness to the palate. Produced in incredibly small batches and extremely hard to get, the 20 Year Old Family Reserve is a showcase investment piece for any serious whiskey connoisseur's collection.
