Pappy Van Winkle's 23 Year Old Family Reserve Bourbon (Gold Wax Green Glass) 750ml
This 1998 vintage of Old Rip Van Winkle Pappy Van Winkle’s 23 year old Family Reserve Bourbon is the epitome of what many would consider a “unicorn cask”. Aged a minimum of 23 years in charred white oak casks with a mature barrel strength of 47.8% ABV (95.6 proof) and composed of an undisclosed mash bill, this 1998 edition is the oldest release in the Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve line and is known the world over as one of the most collectible and much-loved bourbons on the market. Originally bottled by Old Commonwealth, Pappy 23 is now a Buffalo Trace Distillery annual limited release bourbon with a legacy of awards including scoring 95 points on the Whiskey Advocate – and this 1998 first edition is what started it all!

About the brand
Perhaps the most distinctive name in bourbon, Old Rip Van Winkle and its supremely popular 'Pappy' releases have become a culture-defining phenomenon. Passed down through generations of the Van Winkle family for well over 100 years, Old Rip Van Winkle (now distilled by Buffalo Trace) is renowned for its unique preference of wheat rather than rye in the mashbill, a process which has helped it earn cult status and a reputation for producing the smoothest and most complex bourbons in circulation. Released yearly in extremely limited quantities, Old Rip Van Winkle and its acclaimed Pappy Van Winkle line are celebrated by collectors and connoisseurs the world over, and rightly so, no top shelf is complete without one.
