What is Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year worth?
Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year is the oldest bottle in the Van Winkle lineup, and its value comes from how few exist. It's a wheated bourbon aged twenty three years and bottled at 95.6 proof. It is made at Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky and released once a year in the fall in the smallest allocation of the Family Reserve line, so most collectors wait years to see one.
What your bottle is worth depends on its condition. A sealed bottle with the capsule and any tax strip intact, a full fill line, a clean label and an undamaged cork brings the most. An original box or bag helps where the bottle came with one. Release year matters as well, and older years can draw extra interest from serious collectors.
Our typical offer for a sealed, full Pappy Van Winkle 23 Year is $1,800 cash. Send us a few photos and you'll have a firm offer within 48 hours, with a packing kit shipped to your door.
