Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year Old Family Reserve 2025 Release

Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year Old Family Reserve 2025 Release is one of the most coveted bourbons in the Van Winkle collection, a long-aged wheated Kentucky straight bourbon produced in partnership with Buffalo Trace Distillery. Aged for two decades and bottled at 90.4 proof (45.2% ABV), it offers a deeply mature yet remarkably smooth profile, with the length, elegance and complexity that have made Pappy 20 a modern classic among collectors.

In the glass, it shows deep amber colour and an expressive nose of caramel, citrus zest and dried fruit, layered with vanilla, sherry‑tinged sweetness and gentle oak. The palate is rich but graceful, combining flavours of toffee, orange peel, stone fruit and subtle spice, supported by polished oak and a long, refined finish. This ultra‑rare, highly allocated 2025 release was listed at Blenheim Vintners in extremely limited quantities and will particularly appeal to enthusiasts of long‑aged wheated bourbon and the wider Pappy Van Winkle family.
