Description

Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year Old is a highly sought-after wheated Kentucky straight bourbon, produced for the Van Winkle Whiskey Company at Buffalo Trace Distillery. Aged for a full decade in new charred American oak barrels, this bourbon is bottled at 107 proof (53.5% ABV) and is non-chill filtered. It is known for its smooth, sweet, and velvety flavor profile, balancing mature oak, caramel sweetness, and gentle spice. The brand, originally dating to the early post-Prohibition years, was revived by Julian Van Winkle I and continues the family tradition of crafting high-quality wheated bourbon.

Nose
Sweet vanilla, caramel, and brown sugar with notes of toasted oak, dried fruit, and baking spice. Hints of seasoned wood, cinnamon, cherry cola, and a subtle floral character.
Palate
Full and rounded, with flavors of toffee, honeyed grain, soft cinnamon, and oak sweetness. Juicy and unctuous, featuring notes of sweet honey, soft tobacco, caramel, and ripe peach.
Finish
Long, smooth, and warming with lingering caramel, gentle spice, and well-integrated oak. Notes of cinnamon, seasoned oak, cherry-flavored pipe tobacco, crème brûlée, and a surprisingly warm, gingery exit.
