OLD RIP VAN WINKLE 10

OLD RIP VAN WINKLE 10 despite being the youngest offering of the acclaimed Van Winkle Distillery, the Handmade 107 Proof 10 Year Old Bourbon from Old Rip Van Winkle is undoubtedly one of the smoothest bourbons available today. Splashed with Van Winkle’s Kentucky Limestone well-water, this premium bourbon whiskey is as close to barrel proof as possible. Defined by its rich copper color and distinct nutty, caramel complexity, this blend is balanced, bold, and a must-try for the true connoisseur.

“This wonderful bourbon is bottled as close to barrel proof as possible. We add just a splash of our Kentucky limestone well water when we empty the barrels for bottling. Thus, this whiskey is as smooth as any you will find. The more water you add to whiskey from its natural barrel proof to its bottle proof, the harsher it becomes. This 107 barrel proof seems to be just right.”

See a rich, copper color. Smell enticingly sweet, spicy, caramel-nut-fudge aromas. Enjoy a fruity, medium-to full-bodied palate with intense dried fruit and toasted nuts notes. Each sip finishes with a very long, bold wave of peppery brown spices, floral honey and charred barrel flavors that balance the weight of the alcohol. It’s a big, bold, aged bourbon that has great balance for its high proof and flavor.
