Process & Profile

This Van Winkle bourbon bundle brings together three expressions with distinct ages, bottling strengths, and flavor profiles.

Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year, affectionately called “Pappy 10,” combines a decade of maturation with a substantial 107-proof bottling strength.

Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 15 Year adds extended oak maturation and a full-bodied palate.

All three use wheated bourbon recipes, making this collection an appealing way to explore how age and proof influence related styles of Kentucky bourbon.
