Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 23 Year Old — 2005 Gold Wax is a very rare limited-edition release, bottle #A2844, with a dipped gold wax capsule and a fine black velvet bag.

Note: the pull tab is attached but broken off the wax.

Each barrel of this Kentucky straight wheated bourbon ages 23 years and is carefully selected from the heart of the warehouse. Produced at Buffalo Trace, the Van Winkle bourbons pay homage to one of the whiskey industry's founding fathers. Best enjoyed neat.
