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 to make a nice bourbon!

Virginia is out throughout the state :( Guess I need totry the mail order routine, but not sure how alchohol works interstate....
 
This is one bourbon that always gets high ratings and great reviews but just doesn't do it for me. I'm more than half way through my bottle and I just think there so many better bourbons out there for half the price of this one. :2

This year's Van Winkle allocations are being filled as we speak. You should check with your ABC or what ever they call it in VA - there's a chance it'll be in sometime soon.

I can some wanting a more vibrant full bodied bourbon, is that your preference? PVW has an amazing long finish, but is fairly light up front.

Maybe look at the 107pf. 15 year old Pappy. Old Rip Van Winkle 15 was my all time favorite Van Winkle related product. The Pappy 15 is a good follow up though and as mentioned has slightly more kick than the 20.
