*SPECIAL ARRIVAL: Pappy Van Winkle 23yr*
We usually reserve the blog for posts about beer, but when you get your hands on the number 1 rated Bourbon in the world, I think we can make an exception.
The Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery is renowned the world over for there extremely limited production Bourbons and Rye Whiskeys. Their Bourbons in particular are noted for using wheat in the mash, as opposed to rye, which allows for a smoother, slightly sweeter Bourbon that ages more gracefully. I would highly recommend buying the 12yr, 15yr or 20yr on sight at any retail store that is lucky enough to have them.
Healthy Spirits has been fortunate enough to receive 2 bottles of the 23yr Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve, the rarest of the bunch, which received an inconceivable 99 out of 100 from both the Beverage Tasting Institute and the World's Spirit Championships. Not to mention numerous other awards and accolades. Again we only received 2 bottles, so first come first serve. You can reserve a bottle by calling the store at: 415-255-0610, Cheers
