A bar with one of New York’s most coveted views has met the world’s most coveted bourbons.

Peak, the Hudson Yards restaurant perched 101 stories above the city, will be offering for a very limited time a cocktail made with Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year “Lot B,” which fetches more than $1,000 a bottle on the secondary market. The Pappy Plane, as Peak has dubbed it, is a take on the classic Paper Plane, which is an equal-parts cocktail featuring a limited-release Nonino Amaro Riserva, lemon juice and Aperol. You might think an Old Fashioned would be the likely cocktail to let the Pappy lead the way, but this delicious classic is also a canny way to maximally stretch the bottle—unlike the two ounces an Old Fashioned requires, the traditional Paper Plane recipe only needs .75 ounces of bourbon.

The cocktail is the brainchild of Peak’s beverage manager, Jon Kraus. It will only be available for a limited time, with just 100 of the drinks being served at $125 a piece.
