Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon | 107 Proof
The Gateway to Greatness in the Van Winkle Legacy

The Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon is the youngest expression in the coveted Van Winkle lineup, but make no mistake—it’s a powerhouse of flavor and tradition. Aged for a full 10 years and bottled at a bold 107 proof (53.5% ABV), this wheated bourbon delivers a perfect balance of richness, warmth, and smooth character that has made it a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Crafted at the world-renowned Buffalo Trace Distillery using a wheated mash bill, this bourbon replaces the typical rye grain with soft red winter wheat. The result? A smoother, sweeter, and rounder flavor profile that sets Van Winkle bourbons apart from traditional high-rye bourbons.
