Old Rip Van Winkle's 10 Year Old Bourbon is an intriguing and flavorful expression of the Kentucky distiller's art, bottled at 107 proof to showcase its complexity and contrasting notes. Unlike their famous "Pappy" prototype, this punchy and pronounced bourbon takes bold risks with a range of flavors that effortlessly balance spice and sweetness. The nose is a nuanced blend of butterscotch, caramel, and ginger that is irresistible, while the palate delivers a burst of nutmeg, tobacco, and faint burnt caramel, culminating in a warm, oaky, and slightly dry finish. This groundbreaking release from the van Winkle brand is sure to earn cult status among enthusiasts who appreciate a bolder bourbon whiskey.
