So some cool insights. Ate at Whiskey Cake this evening in Plano, Tx. If you add 2 drips of water to Eagle Rare 10 year, it is ridiculously similar to Rip Van Winkle 10 year neat. Check it out. Pretty amazing. 👍 — 8 years ago

Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13 Year Old Kentucky Whiskey 2024

Well my night just got better. Still have half a bottle from last fall. Fingers crossed I'll get my hands on one this year. This is the most bourbony rye I think I've ever had. It's all there- cherry leather, caramel, cigar box, corn bread. It's so much like Pappy 15 but a little hint of rye 😊

Finally opened this because I bought a bottle from 2024. This is without a doubt the finest rye whiskey I've ever enjoyed. It's going to go way too fast. — a year ago

Creamy smooth with incredible nice finish. One of the best I have ever had. For the price however I would take Michters 20 — 9 years ago

Brandon's bottle was better than mine. A little heat, a little sweet. Honey, cornbread, cinnamon, tobacco. Tight, clean finish.

Uh Dave, I don’t know this Brandon guy but I’m calling someone on the table. We review the Gold versus Van Winkle and rate Gold a bit below. Ok. Fair. But what’s with the Grand Pappy in the background and the invite in my mailbox missing?! Something is way off ;) looks like a great night. At some point I do want to try bourbons with you!

Dave

Yeah! 'Twas a good evening. I didn't get around to reviewing a few bottles, including the Pappy. You'd be upset if I did (it was disappointing) 😬 We did pour some Rock Hill Farms which was outstanding.
