Lukas Liquor Superstore Newsletter
Pappy Van Winkle Bourbons Available Wednesday! |
| Greetings!
Once again, I'm happy to announce the release of these most sought-after spirits. Pappy Van Winkle whiskeys will be available on Thursday, April 9th! Please call THURSDAY to reserve your bottle, as they will go fast. Unfortunately, due to extremely high demand for these whiskeys I cannot hold special orders for more than two days and I will NOT ship bottles. These bottles must be picked up at Lukas Liquor Superstore. Discounts and Secret Passwords do not apply.
Lukas' Fall 2008 allocation was larger than we had received in recent memory, but unfortunately, the Spring 2009 allocation will be VERY small. If you want MULTIPLE bottles of these Bourbons, you probably WON'T get them - as there are so FEW to go around. Sorry - but that's the way it goes with sought-after stuff like this... | |

Old Rip Van Winkle Handmade Bourbon
10 Years Old 45% Alc./Vol. (90 Proof)
( from the website)This fine whiskey has as pleasant a taste as any whiskey around. The 10 full years of aging combine nicely with its 45% apy (90 proof). A hint of caramel flavor is enjoyed when one tastes this fine hand-crafted bourbon. This bourbon has a "rich, plush texture." Rated 90 -- Beverage Tasting Institute

Van Winkle Special Reserve
12 Years Old 45.2% Alc./Vol. (90.4 Proof)
( from the website)Van Winkle Special Reserve is the perfect combination of age and proof. This sweet, full bodied whiskey has been described by some as "nectar." We agree! The 12 years of aging and medium proof of 45,2 apy (90.4 proof) seem to be just right in creating a very pleasant drink of whiskey. This fine whiskey can compete with any excellent cognac as an after dinner drink. The overall impression is rich and deep. The 12 Year Old Special Reserve was recognized with the "Trophy for Worldwide Whisky" and a Best-In-Class Gold Medallion in the International Wine and Spirit Competition for 2008.

Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye
13 Years Old 47.8% Alc./Vol. (95.6Proof)
( from the website) Until now, most rye whiskeys were only 5 years old or younger. This 13-year rye breaks the mold. It's the original aged rye whiskey. The maturity it has received while aging is quite obvious when you take the first sip. Flavors include cocoa, vanilla, spice and white pepper. Rye whiskey lovers who try this bottling will never again look back at the younger versions. Rated 95 -- Beverage Tasting Institute Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal Rating: "Five Stars"
***On a personal note, it was this delicious Rye that solidified my relationship with my (future) wife. The night I took my first bottle of the Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye home, I mixed a few of my famous Manhattans for myself. Each time I got up to make one for my guests, Julia drank my Manhattan. I found out that night that Julia loves good Rye, and that I should buy more than one bottle the next time this one becomes available.***

Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve
15 Years Old 53.5% Alc./Vol. (107 Proof)
( from the website)My grandfather, Julian P. "Pappy" Van Winkle, Sr., started working as a salesman for W.L. Weller & Sons wholesale in Louisville, KY in 1893 at the age of eighteen, just after he graduated from Centre College in Danville, KY. This bourbon represents a younger expression of our famous 20 year old Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve. The whiskey in this bottle was produced according to our exclusive family wheated recipe and was specially selected from barrels in the heart of our warehouses here in Kentucky. It has remained undisturbed for 15 years to age in deep-charred heavy oak...untouched by human hands...unhurried by time. I am proud to set my family name upon it. Rated 98 - Superlative! -- Beverage Tasting Institute
