Pappy Van Winkle's, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Family Reserve 20YO

Julian Van Winkle's steadfast philosophy dictates the production of this Kentucky Straight Bourbon, which is notably crafted with a high-wheat mash bill, imparting a foundational softness to the spirit. The extensive two-decade maturation in new, charred American oak barrels within Kentucky's dynamic climate allows for profound wood interaction, with temperature extremes precisely regulating the extraction and integration of oak compounds. This prolonged aging, meticulously overseen to mitigate over-oaking, imbues the 90.4 proof bourbon with exceptional structural density and a remarkably viscous mouthfeel. The outcome is a meticulously developed expression where the inherent creaminess from the wheat harmonizes with deep, integrated oak characteristics, culminating in an elegant, enduring finish.
