Sitting at the pinnacle of the Van Winkle range, the 2025 Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 23 Year Old offers a rare encounter with genuinely long-aged wheated bourbon. Twenty-three years in oak have created an intensely mature profile, with caramel, ripe apple and cherry meeting tobacco, chocolate and deeply integrated wood. The palate is structured and oak-led, but the softer character of the wheated mash remains evident beneath it, carrying the whiskey towards a long, sweet and persistent caramel finish. 
Profoundly mature, contemplative and released in vanishingly small quantities, this is one of American whiskey’s defining collector bottlings.

Few names in American whiskey carry the prestige of Pappy Van Winkle. Produced in partnership with Buffalo Trace Distillery and the Van Winkle family, the range is built around the wheated bourbon recipe that has become synonymous with richness, elegance, and extraordinary ageing potential. Since its revival under Julian Van Winkle III, Pappy has evolved from a cult favourite into one of the world's most sought-after whiskey brands, revered by collectors and enthusiasts alike. The hallmark of the range is its commitment to long maturation, allowing the whiskey to develop remarkable depth and complexity while maintaining a soft, rounded character. At the pinnacle sits the 23 Year Old Family Reserve, widely regarded as one of the defining examples of ultra-aged bourbon.
