Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve, 20 Years
Bourbon is usually associated with rednecks and hillbillies, but a recent trip to Bourbon and Branch revealed that there are a few distilleries producing high quality sipping bourbon supeior to many single malt scotches. 
Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve is one such bourbon. It's aged for 20 years, a nearly unheard of amount of time in the bourbon world. The resulting product smells intensely of vanilla and butter, and has a smooth rich mouthfeel. Even in alcohol-obsessed San Francisco, it was tough to find two bottles of this bourbon, which is rated #1 in the world.
