Old Rip Van Winkle Handmade 90 Proof 10 Year Old Bourbon (Squat Bottle)

ntroduced to the market for the first time way back in 1980 by Julian Van Winkle III, this rare and exceptionally collectible squat bottle iteration of Old Rip Van Winkle Handmade 90 Proof 10 year old Bourbon is a sweet, wheat-recipe bourbon whiskey. Estimated to have been eventually bottled by Buffalo Trace in the early 2000s, the Handmade 10 Year Bourbon is one of the original Old Rip Van Winkle brands and is prized for its mild, welcoming nose and palate. This medium to full-bodied dram features aromatic notes of caramel, roasted nuts, and vanilla along with layers of dried fruit, bold spice, and florally honey on the tongue. Balanced, pristinely aged, and superbly crafted, the Old Rip Van Winkle Handmade 10 year old 90 Proof Bourbon is a perfect introduction or an exemplary reminder of what a classic bourbon-tasting experience should be!
