Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Bottled at nearly barrel proof, this bourbon receives only a touch of Kentucky limestone water after a decade of aging. Deeply rich yet remarkably smooth, it takes a back seat to none. Van Winkle Bourbons are some of the most sought-after whiskey in the world due to the small number of bottles that are produced annually, making this the ultimate unicorn for whiskey collectors.
