Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
Twenty-three years in new charred oak give this wheated Kentucky straight bourbon a depth that rewards slow, unhurried attention. Produced by Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery from a wheated, corn-dominant mash bill, it is bottled at 95.6 proof (47.8% ABV), enough strength to carry its age without leaning on heat. The nose opens with caramel, rich dried fruit and creamy vanilla, edged with oak, leather, dark chocolate and a wisp of tobacco. On the palate, dark chocolate and toasted oak lead into maple, honey and a flicker of citrus zest, then a long, oaky finish of lingering caramel, cream and delicate spice. This is not a first bourbon or a cocktail base. It is a bottle for the collector or seasoned enthusiast who wants to taste how far a wheated bourbon can travel with time, and for marking a milestone worth remembering. We carry it because ultra-aged wheated bourbon belongs on any serious shelf, and this bottle makes that case in the glass.
Pairs well with
- Fine dark chocolate — The bourbon's own dark chocolate and caramel notes echo the bittersweet richness of a quality bar.
- Smoked meats — Smoky, savory meats play off the toasted oak, leather and tobacco character that 23 years in charred oak delivers.
- A milestone celebration toast — Its long, oaky finish of caramel and cream gives a special-occasion pour the kind of lingering impression the moment deserves.
