Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year Old for a Pretty Good Reason

In this special episode of Aussie Bourbon Lovers, we open a unicorn: Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 15 Year. Not for clout, but to celebrate 15 years of marriage — and a shared love of good bourbon and good stories.

We chat through:

• 🥃 First impressions of the Pappy nose and palate

• 🪵 That sweet woodiness that smells like a sharpened pencil (you’ll get it)

• 🥂 The joys and absurdities of marking time with something rare

• ❤️ Reflections on 15 years together — and why bourbon suits the moment

• 😄 How this bottle is fancy and ridiculous, just like the celebration

It’s heartfelt, a little goofy, and definitely one for the memory books.
