About Ha Old Rip Van Winkle 10Yr (Pappy)
Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year is a premium wheated bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery, bottled at nearly barrel proof (107 proof/53.5% ABV). This highly sought-after expression is aged for a full decade in virgin American white oak, resulting in a remarkably smooth yet deeply rich spirit. Known for its balance of fruit-forward sweetness and sophisticated oak spice, it appeals to serious bourbon enthusiasts and collectors willing to invest in quality. Within its category, it stands apart for its approachability despite high proof, offering complexity comparable to much older bourbons while remaining more vibrant than its 12-year-old sibling, Van Winkle Lot B.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose presents a refined bouquet of sweet vanilla, caramel, and pecan with prominent seasoned oak and ground cinnamon. Fruity notes of cherry cola, orange, and hints of rosewater emerge, along with a subtle floral character distinctive to Van Winkle bourbons. The aroma is immediately inviting without harsh wood or smoke.
👅 Palate
The palate delivers moderate sweetness with flavors of dehydrated cherry, apricot, and molasses that create a rich mouthfeel. Cinnamon and spice notes develop with a slight drying sensation, while caramel and vanilla provide balance. The wheated mash bill contributes to a smooth, approachable character despite the high proof.
✨ Finish
The finish is long and complex, featuring lingering cinnamon, seasoned oak, and cherry-flavored tobacco with peppery spice. A pleasant crème brûlée and burnt caramel note provides a smooth, custard-like conclusion without harshness.
