What is Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year worth?

Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year carries real value because it is the bottle most people mean when they say "Pappy." It's a wheated bourbon aged fifteen years and bottled at 107 proof, the highest proof in the Family Reserve line. It is made at Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky and released once a year in the fall, in allocations so small that most liquor stores get a handful of bottles or none.

What your bottle is worth comes down to condition. A sealed bottle with the capsule and any tax strip intact, a full fill, a clean label and an undamaged cork brings the most. An original box or bag helps where the bottle came with one. Some release years draw more collector interest than others, so tell us the year if you know it.

Our typical offer for a sealed, full Pappy Van Winkle 15 Year is $900 cash. Send us a few photos and you'll have a firm offer within 48 hours, with a packing kit shipped to your door.
