Old Rip Van Winkle
Old Rip Van Winkle is a world-renowned bourbon maker whose whiskies have won several awards over the years. This is the 10 year old expression.
This is a very good bourbon but grossly over rated. It's mythical status supersedes what it really is.
Derek provided me with a bottle and said to nurse it. The first visit was rough and hot, but after 6 months the floral/blossom nose is a real treat. After a year, half a bottle remains and the orangey nutmeg comes through smoothly. It is a keeper, just ask Derek
This is a wheated bourbon I actually enjoyed. So far, the only bourbons I liked had rye and the spices rye gives, but Buffalo Trace says this is a wheat recipe bourbon (but they don't say there is no rye). There are some spice flavors here, perhaps accentuated by the slightly higher alcohol content. I prefer Scotch, but I'd rate this my favorite among the bourbons I've tried, displacing Knob Creek.
