Best Bourbon Found at West Vail Liquor Mart

Rated the best whiskey in the world by the Beverage Tasting Institute in Chicago. The 20 year Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve received the highest mark ever given to a whiskey, 99 out of 100.

Old Rip VanWinkle handmade bourbon is sought after by those who are true bourbon and whiskey affionados as well as those who just want the best of the best. The West Vail Liquor Mart currently has in stock the Old Rip VanWinkle 10 year 90 proof and 107proof, as well as Pappy Van Winkle's 15 year, 20 year and 23 year Family Reserves.

VanWinkle Bourbon hales from the town of Frankfort, Kentucky. Each barrel of Van Winkle bourbon is made with a whisper of wheat, rather than the less expensive rye grain employed by most other distillers. This use of wheat in the mash recipe gives VanWinkle bourbon whiskey a smoother and sweeter flavor which marries well with the extra aging time given our barrels in the warehouse. We find that our bourbons made with wheat age more gracefully than other bourbons made with rye.

According to the website of Van Winkle (www.oldripvanwinkle.com) the West Vail Liquor Mart is the only retail store to carry this best of the best bourbon outside of the Denver area and certainly the only store in the ski towns of Vail, Beaver Creek, Aspen or Snowmass.
