    Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve

    Bought my friend a bottle of this for his 40th birthday. What a lovely bourbon. Very long finish, delicate taste, and very refined. I thought Blantons was something until I tried this. Kind of expensive, but if you're into whiskey, I think it's a must try. Love the label too. Pappy know how...
