How to Give the Gift of Pappy This Year (Even If You Can’t Get Your Hands on a Bottle)

Pappy Van Winkle isn’t just a bottle. It’s a story. A slow-aged family legacy stretching back to 1935. And in 2013, Van Winkle’s great-granddaughters co-founded Pappy & Company to expand upon the family legacy. Beyond the pour of fine bourbon. From barrel fermented cigars to heirloom-worthy accessories, their collection is Kentucky craftsmanship at its finest. Here’s where to start.

Pappy & Company Barrel Fermented Cigar 

Made in partnership with Drew Estate in Nicaragua, these hand-rolled cigars use Kentucky fire-cured tobacco that’s fermented in retired Pappy bourbon barrels. It’s an ancient, labor-intensive process that infuses each smoke with a rich, oaky depth designed to pair perfectly with bourbon. 

Family Reserve Leather-Wrapped Flask 

Every guy needs a proper companion piece for a nightcap. Wrapped in antique saddle leather and embossed with Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve logo, this glass flask feels as storied as the name it carries. 

Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup 

Breakfast, but make it bourbon. This award-winning maple syrup is aged in retired Pappy Van Winkle barrels, picking up caramel, oak, and vanilla notes that make it just as at home on pancakes as in an Old Fashioned. Regardless, it’s by far the sweetest way to bring Pappy to the gift exchange. 

Pappy Van Winkle Smoked Cocktail Kit 

This kit uses authentic wood from retired Pappy barrels to add a rich, smoky finish to any drink. No mixology degree required. Light it, smoke it, sip it. It’s as close as you’ll get to aging your cocktail in bourbon history. 

From the Woodshop  

From cigar holders and ashtrays to coasters and cutting boards, each piece from the Woodshop at Pappy & Company is handmade with retired Pappy bourbon barrels and the quiet confidence of fine craftsmanship.
