About this bottle
Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 23 Year is the oldest expression in the Van Winkle lineup, distilled and bottled by Buffalo Trace from the family's wheated bourbon mash bill. Twenty-three years in new charred oak is an unusually long rest for bourbon, and it shows: expect deep oak, leather, and dried fruit alongside the wheated mash bill's characteristic softness, with a long, dry, slightly tannic finish from the extended barrel time. It's one of the most sought-after and hardest-to-find American whiskeys, best reserved for sipping neat by drinkers who already know what wheated bourbon tastes like at younger ages.
How to drink Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 23 Year
Pour it neat in a small measure — at 23 years the oak can lean tannic, so this is a whiskey to sip slowly rather than pour generously, and it doesn't need ice or a mixer to show its character.

Questions about this bottle
What's the best way to serve Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year?
Sip it neat, at room temperature, in a rocks glass or snifter — at 23 years, it's one of the oldest bourbons regularly bottled, and ice or mixers would mute what the extra age brings.
What makes Pappy Van Winkle's mash bill distinctive?
It uses a wheated mash bill — wheat instead of rye as the secondary grain — giving it a softer, rounder profile that holds up well even after two decades in the barrel.
