Pappy Van Winkle 20yr Old

Description

Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve Bourbon 20 Year Old

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 whiskey.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Stewed fruits on the nose, sweet spices, oiliness, white chocolate, walnut.

Palate

Rich, soft and sweet oak with custard. The mouthfeel is like silk, and Preston Van Winkle likens this to a classic Cognac, and we reckon he’s onto something. The maturity, smooth/oily feel of this on the tongue, coupled with musty fruitiness sum up what we love about a decent XO, this is sublime.

Finish

Good length, with hints of honeycomb, peppery spices and prune.

Overall

Heaven!
