Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 23YO (pre 2006)

Ultra-coveted pre-2006 Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 23 Year Old from Buffalo Trace. Aged 23 years in new American oak, this edition is prized for exceptional depth and balance. Expect a velvety, syrupy profile with dark fruits, caramel and vanilla, cocoa, and spice, finishing long with leather and tobacco notes. Availability is extremely limited and prices reflect scarcity on secondary markets. Best enjoyed neat to savor its complexity.Tasting notes- Nose: Dark fruit (raisin, fig, prune), toffee/caramel, vanilla, orange zest, cocoa, tobacco, and oak spice.- Palate: Rich, full-bodied, with maple-syrup sweetness, dark chocolate, caramel, dried fruit, and roasted coffee; evolving with oak and spice (cinnamon, clove).
