The story behind it

The maker

The brand was created to honor Julian P. 'Pappy' Van Winkle, a legendary figure in the whiskey industry who famously operated the Stitzel-Weller Distillery. Today, the brand is managed by his descendants, Julian III and Preston Van Winkle, in partnership with Buffalo Trace, maintaining an uncompromising standard of quality that has made their bottles some of the most sought-after spirits in the world.

How it is made

Distilled at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, this bourbon utilizes a unique wheated mash bill instead of the traditional rye. The whiskey is aged in the heart of the metal-clad rickhouses where fluctuating temperatures maximize wood interaction over fifteen long years.
