Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year is a hand-bottled wheated Kentucky straight bourbon from the legendary Van Winkle family — distilled at Buffalo Trace and patiently aged a full decade in deeply charred new American oak. Bottled at a generous 107 proof, this small-batch release swaps the traditional rye in the mash bill for soft red winter wheat, giving the bourbon its signature roundness and dessert-like sweetness: layered caramel, vanilla bean, brown sugar and toasted oak, with just enough warmth to finish long. The most approachable bottling in the celebrated Van Winkle lineup — non-chill-filtered, hand-dipped, individually numbered, and famously allocated.
3 bottles in a case of Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year — $250 for a bottle, $500 if you take the case.

Nose
Caramel and butterscotch lead, layered with vanilla bean, raw honey, golden raisin, and freshly sawn oak.
Palate
Soft and round on the palate — toasted brown sugar, baked apple, cinnamon-dusted shortbread, and the unmistakable wheated sweetness the Van Winkle name is built on.
Finish
Long, gently warming, and quietly spiced. Vanilla pod, dark chocolate, faint stone fruit, and lingering toasted oak.
Flavor
Serving Suggestion
Pour 1.5 oz neat into a Glencairn or rocks glass at room temperature. A single large ice sphere will gently open the wheated sweetness without dulling the 107-proof warmth — avoid heavy dilution. Best enjoyed slowly, after dinner, in good company.
Food Pairings
Aged Gouda or sharp cheddar, pecan pie, dark-chocolate truffles, smoked brisket, bone-in ribeye, blue cheese drizzled with honey, and toasted pecans.
