Featured in the 1001 whiskies you must try before you die book
"Old rip emphasizes candy flavours like vanilla, caramel and toffee with a little mint and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Its richness and balance are uncanny. What distinguishes Van Winkle from other wheaters is a very slight touch of citrus that leans toward orange."
The holy grail of American whiskey, with the Stitzel Weller distillery last producing whiskey in 1992 and now made at the Buffalo Trace distillery.
A wheated Bourbon that has more of a Rye like hit for me, but whatever the mash bill, this is one very mouthfilling and complex Bourbon that makes you understand why Bourbon lovers search high and low for it.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber with copper‑gold highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Dark caramel meets cherry drop sweetness with a hint of popping candy, framed by toasted vanilla and polished oak. Cocoa powder lingers with new leather, while aromatic clove and cinnamon spice mingle with fresh mint and toffee popcorn.
Palate
Rich dark chocolate with orange fondant, black cherry and clove spice, braided with salted caramel and toffee-like butterscotch. A deep, mouthfilling body where vanillin oak balances sweetness and spice, delivering a poised, lingering finish.
Finish
Deep and long, the finish unfolds with more chocolate, dark orange and black cherry, tempered by salted caramel and rich vanilla oak. Toasted aromatics of baking spices linger, while a new leather firmness dries the palate, leaving a refined, lasting impression.
