This 10-year-old Old RIP Van Winkle cask-strength bourbon has a joyful flavour profile, one that’s both exceptionally smooth and sweet, surprising for 107 proof! As American whiskeys go, it’s one of the finest, a note-perfect fusion of flavours, from caramel and custard to corn and coffee beans.   Nose: Honey, vanilla, oak wood, whiffs of smoke Taste: Oily, creamy, burned oak wood, whiffs of charcoal, rather sweetFinish: Long, warm, and zesty.
