This exquisite spirit finds the perfect harmony between age and proof, aged for an impeccable 12 years and bottled at a medium proof. Crafted at the renowned Buffalo Trace Distillery, this distinguished bourbon is produced from Mash Bill #2, similar to other prestigious blends like Blanton's, William Larue, and Elmer T. Lee's. The result is a rich, smooth bourbon with vibrant toffee notes. Its medium body is accentuated by subtle hints of caramel, nuts, and delicate brown spices, concluding with a lingering finish. History: The Van Winkle bourbon is often referred to as a unicorn in the bourbon community, embodying the legacy of Julian P. Van Winkle, Sr., affectionately known as "Pappy." Beginning his journey in 1893 as a whiskey salesman for W.L. Weller & Sons, Pappy eventually became President of Stitzel-Weller Distillery, building a reputation for exceptional bourbon. Although the business was sold in 1972, the Van Winkle legacy persisted. Julian III revived the brand in 1981 and, through dedication and quality, made a significant impact on the industry. Partnering with Buffalo Trace in 2002, the Van Winkle bourbons continue to uphold Pappy's original recipe, ensuring strict quality standards and future availability.
