What is Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year worth?

Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year is one of the most sought-after bourbons in the country, and its value comes down to how little of it there is. It's a wheated bourbon aged two decades, bottled at 90.4 proof by Old Rip Van Winkle and distilled at Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky. It ships once a year in the fall, in very small allocations, which is why most people never see a bottle on a shelf.

What your bottle is worth depends on its condition. A sealed bottle with its tax strip intact, a full fill line, a clean label and an undamaged cork brings the most. The original velvet bag helps, and some release years carry more weight with collectors than others.

Our typical offer for a sealed, full Pappy Van Winkle 20 Year is $1,000 cash. Send us a few photos and you'll have a firm offer within 48 hours, with a packing kit shipped to your door.
