Pappy Van Winkle Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year

Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year Bourbon is a bold, traditionally crafted wheated bourbon bottled as close to barrel proof as possible at 107 proof. Only a minimal splash of Kentucky limestone water is added at bottling to achieve balance and consistency, allowing the whiskey’s full character to remain intact. Rich copper in color, this 10-year bourbon delivers impressive depth and structure, offering robust flavor while maintaining remarkable balance for its proof. Powerful yet composed, Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year is a classic expression built for serious bourbon enthusiasts.

The Van Winkle legacy begins with Julian P. “Pappy” Van Winkle Sr., whose guiding principle—“We make fine bourbon at a profit if we can, at a loss if we must, but always fine bourbon”—continues to define the brand today. Pappy entered the bourbon business in 1893 with W.L. Weller & Sons and later helped establish the famed Stitzel-Weller Distillery, renowned for its wheated bourbon recipe that replaced rye with wheat for a softer, smoother profile.
