Incredibly old for a bourbon, this bottling of Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve was aged for 20 years and retains a beautiful sweetness, a perfect digestif bourbon.
Pappy Van Winkle 20 Tasting Note
The nose is quite dry and fruity, there are notes of spice and menthol, a distinct Armagnac character, a little digestive biscuit develops, there are notes of pears and marmalade. The palate is rich and full-bodied. There are notes of pastries, hot from the oven, there are notes of toasty oak and spice, a honey note, soft leather, dark sugar and smoke. The finish is long and punchy with toasty oak and rich spice.
