Old Rip Van Winkle Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 13 Year Old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey 750ml

Pappy Van Winkle 13 Year Old Family Reserve is a highly allocated 95.6 Proof (47.8% ABV) straight rye whiskey produced as a limited annual release at the Buffalo Trace Distillery (DSP-KY-113). This expression utilizes a unique, low-rye Kentucky-style mash bill consisting of approximately 51% rye, 39% corn, and 10% malted barley. Unlike the high-rye recipes common in Indiana, this balanced grain ratio provides a denser, more bourbon-like sweetness that complements the spice of the rye.

Maturation occurs over 13 years in the lower, cooler floors of Buffalo Traces metal-clad warehouses to prevent the tannins from overpowering the delicate grain character. This patient aging process results in a sophisticated profile of sweet vanilla, cocoa, and white pepper, finished with a robust oak complexity and a hint of dried citrus.
