Description

Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year is a highly allocated wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery as part of the legendary Van Winkle family lineup. Crafted using a traditional wheated mash bill — where wheat replaces rye as the secondary grain — this bourbon is aged for a full decade in new charred American oak barrels to achieve balance, structure, and exceptional smoothness.

Bottled at 107 proof (53.5% ABV), the whiskey is released nearly at barrel strength with only minimal dilution using Kentucky limestone water. The extended aging develops depth and maturity while maintaining approachability, positioning the 10 Year expression as the boldest and highest-proof entry point into the Van Winkle portfolio. Produced in extremely limited annual allocations, Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year remains one of the most sought-after American bourbons among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.

About Pappy Van Winkle

Old Rip Van Winkle is the vibrant, high-proof "entry point" into the world’s most famous whiskey family. While it doesn’t carry the "Pappy" name on the label (that starts at 15 years), it is the same legendary wheated mash bill produced at the Buffalo Trace Distillery. By using wheat instead of rye, the distillery creates a softer, sweeter profile that allows the 107-proof heat to carry rich fruit notes without the aggressive "spice" of a traditional bourbon. It is widely considered by enthusiasts—including many members of the Van Winkle family—to be the most "exciting" and flavorful bottle in the lineup due to its higher alcohol concentration.
