This is the 2018 bottling of Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 15 Year Old, a wheated Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 107 proof (53.5% ABV). The Van Winkle family recipe uses wheat in place of rye, which makes a smoother, softer bourbon. This one aged undisturbed for 15 years in deep-charred oak barrels chosen from the heart of the warehouse. Since 2002, Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, has made Van Winkle bourbon to the recipe Julian "Pappy" Van Winkle Sr. used at Stitzel-Weller from 1935.

Critic reviews and blind-tasting competition results for the 107 proof bottling.
Lovely array of flavors: candied fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, gritty oak resins, vanilla fudge, and firm corn. … A remarkable value, considering its age and strength.
A nose of sun-dried cherries dipped in honey and a bowl of cinnamon-sprinkled cereal. The palate tastes of a melted Heath bar, vanilla saltwater taffy, and charred cinnamon. The finish shows charred wood, cinnamon sugar and wheat.
Bitter orange and some dark cherries with an intense flavour of oak spices and explosive sweetness that matches a drying apple sours note on the end.
How strongly each flavor family shows up across 1 note from 1 publication, all for the 107 proof bottling, weighted by source.
Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
