Heavily Allocated
Pappy
Van Winkle
Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 23 Year is the crown jewel of American whiskey — twenty-three years of wheated Kentucky straight bourbon, hand-selected one barrel at a time by Julian Van Winkle III. Bottled at a poised 95.6 proof to carry the weight of more than two decades in deeply charred new American oak, this is the most allocated, most collected, and arguably most legendary wheated bourbon in the world. Fig, dark caramel, leather, tobacco, espresso, and fruitcake unfold in slow, deliberate layers — all underwritten by the soft Van Winkle sweetness the family has guarded for over a century.
From Grain to Glass
Every drop of Bourbon & Oak is the result of a meticulous process refined over six generations.
Grain Selection
We source the finest non-GMO corn, rye, and malted barley from Kentucky farms within 50 miles of our distillery.
Mashing & Fermentation
Our sour mash process uses limestone-filtered water and a proprietary yeast strain cultivated since 1876.
Copper Pot Distillation
Double distilled in hand-hammered copper pot stills, capturing only the heart of the spirit.
Barrel Aging
Aged in new charred American white oak barrels in our seven-story rickhouse, where Kentucky seasons work their magic.
What They Say
“The Heritage 1876 is unlike anything I've tasted. Rich, complex, with a finish that lingers like a Kentucky sunset. This is bourbon at its absolute finest.”
