Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 15
Country: USA

Type: Bourbon
Bottler: Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery
ABV: 53.5%

These notes are for the Fall 2013 release of Pappy 15, which has a nose of roasted almonds, maple, honey, vanilla, and nutmeg. The taste is thick and spicy with chilli powder, black pepper, molasses, maple, and dark chocolate notes. The finish is long, mouth-filling, and spicy. (February, 2014)
