Taste
The Old Rip Van Winkle 11 Year Stitzel-Weller offers a classic profile that showcases the elegance of wheated bourbon. The nose opens with inviting aromas of toffee, dried fruit, and well-aged oak. On the palate, rich flavors of vanilla, caramel, and dark chocolate are balanced by gentle baking spice, soft wheat sweetness, and subtle notes of leather.

History

Produced during a period when wheated bourbon was beginning to distinguish itself from traditional rye-heavy recipes, this release reflects the craftsmanship and innovation championed by the Van Winkle family.
