Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13 Year Old Kentucky Whiskey 2024

Dave

Well my night just got better. Still have half a bottle from last fall. Fingers crossed I'll get my hands on one this year. This is the most bourbony rye I think I've ever had. It's all there- cherry leather, caramel, cigar box, corn bread. It's so much like Pappy 15 but a little hint of rye 😊

So some cool insights. Ate at Whiskey Cake this evening in Plano, Tx. If you add 2 drips of water to Eagle Rare 10 year, it is ridiculously similar to Rip Van Winkle 10 year neat. Check it out. Pretty amazing. 👍 — 8 years ago

Soft flex for Norman. This bottle of 15-year was not up to par, unfortunately. It lacked complexity and a lot of the typical flavor profile elements. It tasted hotter than usual, and there was a fair amount of peat, which is not right. Still, it beats Jim Beam.

The bottle was new to me. I guess my friend had the neck pour earlier this year, so I don't know. I know what you're saying, though. It's also said that the lower a bottle gets, the faster the clock is ticking. I've got a few low bottles that need to be polished off. Come on over!

So subtle - dried orange peel, potpourri and creamed corn - a delight, thank Hugh — 7 years ago

Brandon's bottle was better than mine. A little heat, a little sweet. Honey, cornbread, cinnamon, tobacco. Tight, clean finish.

Uh Dave, I don’t know this Brandon guy but I’m calling someone on the table. We review the Gold versus Van Winkle and rate Gold a bit below. Ok. Fair. But what’s with the Grand Pappy in the background and the invite in my mailbox missing?! Something is way off ;) looks like a great night. At some point I do want to try bourbons with you!

Yeah! 'Twas a good evening. I didn't get around to reviewing a few bottles, including the Pappy. You'd be upset if I did (it was disappointing) 😬 We did pour some Rock Hill Farms which was outstanding.

Finally opened this because I bought a bottle from 2024. This is without a doubt the finest rye whiskey I've ever enjoyed. It's going to go way too fast. — 6 months ago
