Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year Bourbon demonstrates the joy of simplicity and origin. At 107 proof, this Van Winkle original is bottled exceptionally close to cask strength with only a small amount of native well-water added during the bottling process. The bourbon’s closeness to barrel strength yields one of the smoothest drinking experiences available. Each sip provides a sense of calm through earthy essences of wheat and oak, and a subtly fruity medley of cherries, honey and citrus. With a perfectly pleasant taste all around, this bourbon is a prime choice every time. If you are a connoisseur that enjoys whiskey in its purest form, then this bottle is for you.
