About this episode
Pappy Van Winkle's 15 Year Family Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is one of the most sought after bottles on the market today. The now famous wheated bourbon recipe was created by Julian P. "Pappy" Van Winkle and he believed the wheat was responsible for creating a soft, smooth, and distinguished profile. Turns out he was right. The Van Winkle recipe and lineup is steeped in history and the brand has become legendary amongst ALL whiskey drinkers. But is the hype and acclaim deserved? What does this unicorn taste like? In this episode, we do our best to demystify Pappy and give you our honest take on this highly coveted pour. You won't believe how much we paid for this bottle and you might also be shocked by how it stacks up against other heavyweights in some impromptu blinds. The holidays are a great time to share bottles with friends and family. If you have a Van Winkle bottle on the shelf, you might want to listen to our pod before you make a decision on opening it.
