Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 15 Years Old 1st Ever Store Pick (The Party Source)

Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 15 Year Old — 1st Ever Store Pick by The Party Source. The first single barrel store selection ever made from the Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year program, selected by The Party Source in Bellevue, Kentucky.

Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year is the entry-level expression of the Old Rip Van Winkle family’s most celebrated bourbon program — a 15-year wheated Kentucky straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace. A store pick from this expression is historically significant: The Party Source, known for decades of exceptional single barrel selections from top Kentucky distilleries, selected this as the very first store pick ever made from the Pappy 15 Year program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this the 1st ever store pick significant?

Van Winkle expressions are almost entirely allocated through standard distribution — single barrel store picks are extraordinarily rare and require a relationship and access that very few retailers have. This is the first time The Party Source was ever able to select an individual barrel of Pappy 15 Year, making it a historically documented first.
