Whiskies from 'Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery'
Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery.
Old Rip Van Winkle's 15 Years Old, Family Reserve
Big . Rich. Hearty. Robust.
Paddy Old Irish Whiskey
A classic Irish, though less full in flavour than Jameson.
Pappy Van Winkle 15 Years Old, Family Reserve
A big guy. On a frosty Christmas Eve maybe, waiting for Santa Claus by the fireplace. No risk of falling asleep with this fellow!
Pappy Van Winkle 20 Years Old, Family Reserve
Showing its age, but I like its big, earthy, old-fashioned American flavours.
Pappy Van Winkle 20 Years Old, Family Reserve
The family propensity to fall asleep seems to have struck in the bottle; given a chance to breathe and a drink of water, it comes back to life.
Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve, 23 Years Old
Big and robust but very drinkable and soothing.
Van Winkle 12 Years Old, Lot B
This should obviously be an ingredient of all self-respecting desserts. An accompaniment to them, too. And an after dinner drink. You are in a dry county? So what?
Van Winkle 13 Years Old, Family Reserve Rye
Showing its age. It seems to have lost a little liveliness but, if you were as rich as this, would you care?
Van Winkle 23 Years Old
Even more age to handle, but it has wistful, nostalgic charm.
Van Winkle Family Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon, 18 Years Old
The wisdom of the ages is locked in there somewhere, but it is hard to penetrate the wood.
Van Winkle Family Reserve, 13 Years Old
Certainly showing its age, but full of character.
Van Winkle Special Reserve, 12 Years Old
Well balanced. Easy to drink. Not especially complex.
