Old Rip van Winkle 10 Years 53.5%
A cask strength bourbon from Old Rip Van Winkle, this is rich, sweet and incredibly smooth and toasty.
Nose:Dark caramel, copper/amber Nose: Soft caramel, polished brass, fragrant wood, cedar, so much depth. It’s waxy, rich, concentrated, stewed dried prunes and dates, bitter orange peel (dried), pink peppercorns, old leather. Given a bit more time to open up in the glass, a floral note kicks in, with some rose petals and Turkish delight in the background.
Palate:Rich and thick with notes of caramel, vanilla, dates, walnuts, coffee beans and soft oak. Very buttery and incredibly smooth.
Finish:Long and spicy with notes of gingernut biscuit and golden syrup on the tail.
