Like the rest of the range, it uses a wheated mash bill — wheat standing in for rye — for a softer, rounder profile than a traditional bourbon. Ten years in new charred oak brings caramel, vanilla, and baking spice, with a rich, full body and a smooth, mellow finish that carries real oak weight at 107 proof. Its scarcity has made it one of the most sought-after bourbons on the market, often selling well above retail. A serious pour for drinkers who can find it at list price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to drink Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year 107 Proof\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeat, in a proper glass, is how this one is meant to be tasted — the wheated softness carries the proof without harshness.
