Inside Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year

Bourbon aged in new charred oak commonly leans toward caramel and vanilla. Meanwhile, most drinkers read brown sugar and toasted grain in this style. The style rewards slow sipping more than fast mixing. For example, corn forward mashbills usually carry a rounded, gentle sweetness. That said, Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year gives you plenty to think about in the glass.

Food Pairing and Occasions

Smoked brisket stands up well to a full flavoured pour. By comparison, burgers off the grill suit a casual pour on ice. Birthdays, retirements and promotions all suit a bottle of this kind. Moreover, bacon wrapped appetisers pair neatly with a bourbon nightcap. Collectors reach for bottles like this when a shelf needs an anchor. However, pair it with Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 23 for a side by side tasting.

Where Bourbon Comes From

Corn leads the mashbill, so the spirit arrives with natural sweetness. In practice, Kentucky remains the heartland of American whiskey production. Limited releases move quickly once word travels through collector circles. In short, straight bourbon spends a minimum of two years in the barrel. Barrel entry proof and warehouse position both shape the final liquid. At the same time, browse the wider whiskey brands collection to compare styles.

How to Serve Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year

Serving Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year properly takes very little work. A few drops of water can open the aroma noticeably. Therefore, keep the cork sealed tight between pours. Pour it neat first so the oak shows clearly. First, a Glencairn glass concentrates aroma better than a tumbler. In fact, Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 23 makes a natural next bottle.
