Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey 2023

Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year is the bottle that started the hunt — the 107-proof, fifteen-year wheated bourbon that Drinkhacker grades A and Boozemakers scores 93, and the one the family itself calls the sweet spot. Julian Pappy Van Winkle ran Stitzel-Weller from 1935; the Family Reserve line carries his name and portrait, and since 2002 Sazerac has distilled every Van Winkle at Buffalo Trace from the wheated mashbill — roughly 70% corn, 16% wheat, 14% malted barley — it also uses for Weller. The 15 is aged in the Frankfort warehouses and bottled at 107 proof; the 2023 release carries the year on the label. Drinkhacker: strong vanilla and buttercream with toffee and dried dark berries on the nose, and a complex balance of oak, caramel, and butter rum on the palate. Secret Whiskey Society and Me, My Wife & Whisky both find the 15 the most complete Pappy — the proof of the 10, the age to earn the name, before the 20 and 23 turn to oak. Honest note: this is the most allocated bourbon in America and it trades for many multiples of its MSRP — the whiskey is exceptional, the price is the market, and buying it from a licensed retailer is the only way to know it's real. Neat, in a Glencairn, slowly. Pappy, fifteen years, 2023.
