Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye is a 13-year-old straight rye whiskey bottled at 95.6 proof — the original aged rye that broke the mold when most ryes were five years or younger, with cocoa, vanilla, spice, and white pepper carried by remarkable maturity.

Produced at Buffalo Trace using Pappy Van Winkle's standards, this highly sought-after rye shows the depth that comes only with age. Rated 95 points by the Beverage Tasting Institute. Best enjoyed neat to appreciate its complexity.
