Pappy Van Winkle 13 Year Family Reserve

Take home this 13 Year Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye!

This is a rye, but we can assume it isn’t a high-rye. The stuff drinks just like bourbon and is probably the second or third best-reviewed of the entire collection. It’s one of the oldest ryes on the market and it shows in spades — whatever spiciness you associate with rye is bowled over by a rich mix of tobacco, honey, toffee, and fruit. This is the Van Winkle whiskey for the whiskey nerd in your life.
