Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 20 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon
The 20-year-old Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve has become a legendary bourbon, particularly following the theft of 65 three-bottle cases in 2013. It is also the expression which first brought the Van Winkle brand to prominence after being awarded an unprecedented score of 99 at the Beverage Testing Institute in 1996.
Released in annual batches, these green-glass bottled version were the earliest examples and were produced by the Commonwealth Distillery Co in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky between 1994 and 1998. The whiskey contained was actually a rye-recipe bourbon from the Old Boone distillery, with wheated Stitzel-Weller whiskey introduced in 1999.
