This is the pinnacle of the Pappy range.

Aged for 23 years in new American oak, this is one of the oldest bourbons released each year — and one of the hardest to get your hands on.

Produced at Buffalo Trace using a wheated mash bill, it delivers a softer, rounder profile compared to rye-based bourbons, despite the extreme age.

On the nose, it opens deep and mature. Caramel, oak, nuts and leather sit alongside dark fruit, chocolate and a touch of citrus.

The palate is intense and layered. Vanilla, maple and honey roll through with cherry, spice and heavy oak structure that defines the profile.

This is the key.

👉 Massive age
👉 Heavy oak presence
👉 Still balanced for what it is

The finish is long and dry. Leather, spice and oak linger with a structured, slightly tannic edge that keeps it refined rather than sweet.

This isn’t built to be easy.

It’s built to be legendary.
