Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 23 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey (700ml) - Circa 2001 Lawrenceberg, KY Bottling, Wax Seal

A bottling of Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year Old from circa 2001 yielding just 3,000 bottles.  Confirming this is the gold wax seal, bottling origin of Lawrenceberg, Kentucky and bottling number of #1880.  This is your chance to snap up a true piece of American Bourbon history.

Other reviews... Nose: Deep, powerful and concentrated. This has moved into almost rancio territory: eucalypt/laurel, spice, burnt orange peel, apple, pear, biscuity wood. Palate: Soft and surprisingly delicate given the age. A charred note adds to the complexity. Gentle and elegant: cigar box, prune, molasses, soot. Finish: Long. In fact it’s very, very long and complex. Comment: A subtle sipper to be taken neat and definitely without ice!
