Old Rip Van Winkle 12yr 750mL

Van Winkle’s twelve-year bourbon combines toffee aromas with caramel, nuts and warm brown spices. A supple entry leads to a drier mid-palate and a long, enveloping finish.

Key details

• Origin: Kentucky, USA
• Bourbon
• Aged 12 years

Flavor profile

Complex toffee, caramel and nuts, with brown spice and a rounded but dry-finishing palate.

Pairing & serving

Try neat with water alongside. Pair with toasted almonds, shortbread or a small caramel dessert.

After opening & when to enjoy

Keep upright, tightly closed, away from heat and sunlight. The spirit is ready to enjoy and does not continue barrel aging in the bottle. After opening, aim to enjoy within about a year for the freshest aroma, especially as the bottle empties.
