Description
Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Years Bourbon Whiskey, is the youngest wheated bourbon and the youngest whiskey in the entire Van Winkle Line. At 107 proof and likely using the same wheated mashbill as Weller everything, it’s not so far off to say that this is sort of like 10 year old Weller Antique 107, but picked from a different set of barrels given its smaller bottle count and Van Winkle name.
There’s one more thing worth mentioning about Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year – it’s also often called Pappy 10 Year. While Pappy 10 Year technically isn’t the correct name, I totally understand why some say it that way. While it is associated with the Pappy Van Winkle brand and legacy, only the 15, 20, and 23 year technically have the Pappy Van Winkle name on the label.
I mention it because some people are quite…particular about the exact language. I don’t care but wanted to make sure you were informed, so call it Van Winkle 10 Year or Pappy 10 Year. Call it magic unicorn juice while you’re at it.
This is my first time having this, so I’m exceedingly curious to find out what the deal is in this Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year Bourbon (aka Pappy 10 Year)
