Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve is the flagship brand of bourbon whiskey owned by the "Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery" company (which does not actually own or operate a distillery, but rather has it produced under a contract with another company). It is distilled and bottled by the Sazerac Company at its Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve is often regarded as one of the finest bourbons in the world, and is rare to find on the market due to its very low production and high demand.
History
In 1893, when he was 18 years old, Julian "Pappy" Van Winkle, Sr. began working as a salesman for the liquor wholesaler, W.L. Weller & Sons. Fifteen years later, he and another Weller salesman bought the firm. In 1910 they acquired the A. Ph. Stitzel Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, which had started as a sour mashwhiskey distillery in 1872.
The Stitzel Distillery supplied much of the whiskey sold by the Weller wholesale firm. The consolidation coincided with prohibition during which time the Stitzel-Weller firm was licensed by the government to produce whiskey for medicinal purposes. One of their labels that was introduced on the market just before prohibition was Old Rip Van Winkle. After prohibition, the brand was not reintroduced until after 1972 when the Stitzel-Weller distillery and its current brand names (including W.L. Weller, Old Fitzgerald, Rebel Yell, and Cabin Still) were sold to other companies. The only brand name to which the Van Winkle family kept the rights was the pre-prohibition brand Old Rip Van Winkle.
When I saw the ambulance Screaming down Main Street I didn't give it a thought But it was my Uncle Eugene He died on October the second 1981 And my Uncle Wilbert They all called him Skinner They said for his younger ways He'd get drunk in the morning And show me the rolls of fifties and hundreds He kept in the glove box of his old gray Impala And we're all gonna be here forever So Mama don't you make such a stir Now put down that camera And come on and join up The last of the family reserve Now my second cousin His name was Callaway He died when he'd barely turned two It was peanut butter and jelly that did it The help she didn't know what to do She just stood there and watched him turn blue And we're all gonna be here forever So Mama don't you make such a stir Just put down that camera And come on and join up The last of the family reserve And my friend Brian Temple He thought he could make it So from the third story he jumped He missed the swimming pool Only by inches And everyone said he was drunk Now there was great Uncle Julius And Aunt Annie Mueller And Mary and Granddaddy Paul And there was Hanna and Ella And Alvin and Alec He owned his own funeral hall And there are more I remember And more I could mention Than words I could write in a song But I feel them watching And I see them laughing And I hear them singing along We're all gonna be here forever So Mama don't you make such a stir Just put down that camera And come on and join up
