The story behind it

The maker

The Van Winkle family legacy began with Julian 'Pappy' Van Winkle Sr. in the late 19th century, establishing a philosophy of quality over quantity. Today, this iconic label is produced in partnership with the Buffalo Trace Distillery, preserving the legendary wheated recipe that has captivated whiskey collectors worldwide.

How it is made

Crafted using a sweet, soft wheat recipe instead of the traditional rye, this legendary bourbon is aged for twelve years in the heart of Kentucky. The extended aging process in charred American oak casks coaxes out deep, complex sugars and mellows the spirit to perfection.
