Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 20 Year Old Bourbon 90.4 Proof
Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 20 Year Old Bourbon 90.4 Proof
Citrus zest lifts first, bright against the weight of everything behind it. Underneath sits dried fruit and a sherried sweetness that has had two decades to settle, with vanilla threading through and oak that stays elegant rather than drying. Twenty years in new charred American oak is a long time for a bourbon to hold its shape, and this one does.
At 90.4 proof, the texture is soft and full rather than hot. Nothing needs to be tamed. The finish is long and quiet, and the fruit lingers well after the oak has stepped back. Kentucky bourbon at this age rarely stays this composed.
Bottles reach the shelf in small numbers and seldom stay long. Pour it neat in a 750 mL bottle's worth of unhurried evenings, and give each measure a few minutes before the first sip.
