About Ha Old Rip Van Winkle Reserve Rye 13Yr (Pappy)
Old Rip Van Winkle 'Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve' 13 Year Rye is a highly coveted Kentucky straight rye whiskey, produced by Sazerac Company Inc. at Buffalo Trace Distillery, bottled at 48% ABV (95.6 proof) in 750ml sizes for $172.50. Unlike the bourbons in the Van Winkle lineup, this 13-year-old rye breaks the mold of younger ryes, offering exceptional maturity with balanced rye spice, caramel sweetness, vanilla, cocoa, and white pepper, creating a silky, complex profile that's both bold and refined. What makes it special is the perfect harmony of youthful rye pepper and aged oak depth, delivering an 'X-factor' of memorable balance that elevates it above typical ryes—smoother than Michter’s 10 Year yet profoundly layered. Ideal for collectors, rye enthusiasts, and connoisseurs seeking a sipping whiskey that rewards patience, it stands out in the super-premium category for its heritage and scarcity, outshining younger ryes with superior maturity and drinkability.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
A soft, intricate bouquet reveals chestnuts, vanilla, spice, fruit, dill, cherry, chocolate, and sweet cigar smoke, with hints of brown sugar, milk chocolate, powdered sugar, and fresh linen. Subtle layers of cinnamon, honey, dried fruit, and anise emerge delicately, though some find it muted or bourbon-like. Warm it for enhanced floral notes, cornbread, and molasses undertones.
👅 Palate
Rye-forward with youthful spice, cinnamon, black pepper, caramel, vanilla, cocoa, and white pepper, alongside herbal dill, sage, linen, and soft orange fruit. Velvety and silky mouthfeel delivers baking spices like anise and nutmeg, toasted caramel, plums, cherries, and leathery oak, balancing dry herbal notes with mellow sweetness. Water enhances vanilla in this medium-bodied, refined sip.
✨ Finish
Long, warm, and complex with caramel, dry oak, leathery tannins, black pepper, sage, anise, and subtle peppermint, fading gauzily yet memorably.
