Pappy Van Winkle

Van Winkle Tasting Event: The Van Winkle name represents one of the most storied legacies in American whiskey. Its history is closely tied to Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle Sr., who entered the whiskey business in the late 1800s and later became an influential figure behind the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery. Pappy became known for his commitment to wheated bourbon, using wheat rather than rye as the secondary grain to create a softer, rounder style of whiskey. Today, the Van Winkle family continues that tradition in partnership with Buffalo Trace Distillery, producing some of the most limited and sought-after American whiskeys.

We invite you to experience four remarkable expressions spanning bourbon and rye: Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year, Van Winkle Special Reserve Lot “B” 12 Year, Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13 Year, and Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 15 Year.
