Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery
Pappy Van Winkle Malt Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 10 Year 107 Proof


The 2024 Old Rip has been a bit disappointing. The nose is dynamite, but the flavor profile is pretty one dimensional. A little heat, a little cigar box (but not much), and a little caramel. Everything is just... muted. The past 3 or 4 years have been much richer. Still, I'm not ready to throw it in an Old Fashioned.

Brandon's bottle was better than mine. A little heat, a little sweet. Honey, cornbread, cinnamon, tobacco. Tight, clean finish.
