Until now, most rye whiskeys were four years old or younger. This 13 year rye is one of the oldest rye whiskeys available today. The maturity it has achieved while aging is quite obvious as you take the first sip. Rye whiskey lovers who try this bottling will never look back at the younger versions again.
Tasting Notes
You’ll see the deep, tawny, copper color and smell the powerful caramel, spice, and sweet-tobacco aromas. It has a smooth, broad entry, leading to a medium-to-full-bodied palate with sweet toffee, roasted nut, and leather notes. It finishes with a wave of white pepper, spice, and long-lingering dried fruit flavors. In 1893, Pappy began working at W.L. Weller & Sons as a traveling whiskey salesman. He became co-owner, president, and then chairman of the board of the Stitzel-Weller Distillery and helped shape the industry during and after Prohibition. With 71 years in the distilling business, he built a reputation that was second to none and he remains a titan in the industry.
