Julian Van Winkle III with daughter and Pappy & Company co-founder, Louise Van Winkle Breen, about whiskey, barrels, and family history. Pappy & Company uses real Pappy Van Winkle barrels to create beautiful barrel heads emblazoned with the Pappy Van Winkle label and signed by Julian Van Winkle III.
Though the coveted Pappy Van Winkle bourbon has been bottled, as the wood dries out, the aroma of the whiskey still lingers in this authentic 15-Year barrel head. Its steadfast duty as a shelter for the rare whiskey for almost two decades is evident in the barrel heads’ variations— the warping of the wood a testament to its commitment.
