When it comes to Kentucky bourbon, Pappy Van Winkle is among the most exclusive offered, according to food writer Brett Anderson. The bourbon is prized for its wheat-base and special barrels for aging handpicked by Julian Van Winkle III, the president of Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery. It doesn’t matter who you are or how much money you have — you can’t get it unless you’re exceptionally lucky or willing to break the law. The Pappy frenzy has the police, bartenders, and even the Van Winkle family themselves wringing their hands.
