PAPPY AND PALS

A Stellar Collection for the Whiskey Lover

Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle’s impact on the bourbon industry is based on his desire to “be honest and make a good product.” It was that simple to him and has remained so for more than a century. Pappy’s 15-year Family Reserve was crafted according to an exclusive family wheated recipe. Selected from barrels in the heart of the Kentucky warehouse, it has remained untouched and unhurried by time for 15 years. With its hazy, copper color and full-bodied palate, experts deem this a seductive, exotic, and virtually flawless bourbon. We couldn’t agree more.

Lot also includes five bottles of Hilton Head Wine & Spirits special barrel picks of best-selling and some hard-to-source whiskey. These barrel picks are exclusive to HHWS. The sure-fire winners include:

1. HH Wine & Spirits Barrell Pick Cask Strength

2. HH Wine & Spirits Jefferson’s Single Barrel

3. HH Wine & Spirits Whistle Pig 12 year

4. HH Wine & Spirits Bulleit Barrel #2
