Description

Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve 20 Year Old (Lawrenceburg Green Glass) is an early bottling of the celebrated 20-year wheated bourbon — identified by collectors for its distinctive green glass bottle from the Lawrenceburg-era production.

The 20 Year is aged two decades to a dark amber depth, with the oiled leather, smoke, coffee, and cigar-box complexity that made Pappy a benchmark. The green glass bottling is a sought-after collector variant.
