Old Rip Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old Bourbon is a finely aged expression that balances maturity and smoothness in exceptional harmony. Bottled at 90.4 proof, it is celebrated for its rich, full-bodied character and elegant depth, often described as remarkably smooth and indulgent. Brilliant amber-orange in colour, it opens with aromas of dried mango, cocoa, fruit, and spiced peach, leading into a supple palate of honey, oak, tobacco, caramel, and nutty spice. The finish is balanced and dry, with a lingering warmth that reflects its refined, well-aged complexity.
