Bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year Bourbon
Pappy Van Winkle bourbon, named for legendary distiller Julian "Pappy" Van Winkle, is “the world’s most elusive bourbon,” according to Forbes. This very rare, limited-edition bourbon takes generations of distilling know-how to produce. Only the most careful and expensive distilling method can be used to create a whiskey as special as this one, with each barrel being aged for 23 years. Only a small amount of Van Winkle is released once per year, making the possibility of seeing a bottle at your local liquor store almost impossible. This may be your only chance to add a bottle to your collection, so don't hesitate to raise your paddle for this one!
