{"title":"Pappy Van Winkle","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePappy Van Winkle is the most hunted whiskey in America, and the story earns the hype. Julian \"Pappy\" Van Winkle Sr. started as a traveling salesman for W.L. Weller \u0026amp; Sons in 1893, eventually buying the company and merging it with the A. Ph. Stitzel Distillery to form Stitzel-Weller, which opened its doors on Derby Day 1935. Pappy ran it on a single stubborn conviction — \"We make fine bourbon at a profit if we can, at a loss if we must, but always fine bourbon\" — and built the house style around wheated bourbon, substituting wheat for rye in the mash bill for a softer, sweeter, longer-aging whiskey. The family lost the distillery in 1972, but Julian Van Winkle III kept bottling under the Old Rip Van Winkle name, and since 2002 the whiskey has been produced in partnership with Buffalo Trace using the family's wheated recipe. The lineup runs from Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year and Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year through the Family Reserve 15, 20, and 23 Year bourbons, plus the Family Reserve 13 Year Rye — all released once a year in famously tiny quantities, with demand so far beyond supply that bottles routinely trade for ten to twenty times their retail price. Widely considered among the finest bourbon ever bottled, and genuinely deserving of the chase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrowse our full Pappy Van Winkle collection with fast nationwide shipping delivered straight to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pappy-van-winkle-15-year-old-bourbon-whiskey-2023","title":"Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey 2023","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bourbon \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExpressly produced according to the exclusive Van Winkle family wheated-recipe and specially selected from barrels in the heart of the aging warehouses, this bourbon remained undisturbed for 15 years to age in deep-charred heavy oak untouched by human hands, unhurried by time.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44162952462592,"sku":"C0007904L","price":2199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/Pappy15yr.jpg?v=1702700450"},{"product_id":"pappy-van-winkles-20-year-family-reserve-2024","title":"Pappy Van Winkle's 20 Year Family Reserve 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bourbon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003e750mL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e This full-bodied bourbon pours a dark amber with a deep orange hue, offering aromas of oiled leather, smoke, minerals, coffee, and cigar boxes.

Taking over in 1981, Julian III revived the brand, purchasing the Old Hoffman Distillery for barrel storage and bottling.

While Old Rip Van Winkle shares the same mash bill and family of products as Pappy, it stands apart with a slightly different taste and presentation, as well as a more limited price range. Often regarded as the \"entry level\" offering in the Old Rip Van Winkle lineup, it is bottled at nearly cask strength with a 107 proof, with a touch of limestone water added before bottling. Released annually in the fall, it is highly collectible, though occasionally a smaller allocation may be available in the spring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46175731745024,"sku":"C0009452L","price":899.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/RipVanWinkle10.jpg?v=1734289317"},{"product_id":"van-winkle-special-reserve-12-year-lot-b-2024","title":"Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Lot B 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/strong\u003eBourbon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion: \u003c\/strong\u003eKentucky \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pappy Van Winkle Special Reserve offers the ideal balance of age and proof.
