About This Bourbon
Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year is the youngest bourbon in the Van Winkle family, a wheated Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 107 proof.
The 10 Year is aged a full decade in new charred oak and brought down only slightly with water to 107 proof, close to barrel strength.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Vanilla, pecan and caramel, with warm oak and orange.
- Palate: Full and round: toffee, dried cherry, soft wheat bread and a peppery lift from the strength.
- Finish: Long and warming, with brown spice, honey and toasted barrel.
Serving & Food
Serve neat in a Glencairn, adding a little water if the heat masks the fruit. Try candied walnuts, a ribeye with a pepper crust or sticky toffee pudding.
Good to Know
Where is it made? At Buffalo Trace, from its own wheated distillate.
When are releases? Once a year, in autumn.
