Description

Old Rip Van Winkle 25 is a bottle we recommend to buyers who take the pour seriously. An age statement of 25 years sits on the bottle. Likewise, we ship it expertly packed across the United States and Canada. Then, the label carries a 25 year age statement.

Why Old Rip Van Winkle 25 Stands Out

Oak tannin gives the finish structure rather than sharp edges. Beyond that, expect the warm oak character that defines the American whiskey shelf. Bourbon aged in new charred oak commonly leans toward caramel and vanilla. Even so, the char layer typically pushes sweet baking spice into the glass. Better still, Old Rip Van Winkle 25 makes the case for slowing down a little.

What to Pair It With

Barbecue night gives this bottle an easy job to do. Of course, burgers off the grill suit a casual pour on ice. Birthdays, retirements and promotions all suit a bottle of this kind. Notably, bacon wrapped appetisers pair neatly with a bourbon nightcap. Holiday gifting is where a bourbon gift bottle earns its keep. For example, pair it with Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year for a side by side tasting.

The Story Behind Bourbon

United States law requires new charred oak for every drop of bourbon. On top of that, limited releases move quickly once word travels through collector circles. Barrel entry proof and warehouse position both shape the final liquid. In other words, straight bourbon spends a minimum of two years in the barrel. The bourbon shelf has grown fast across the United States and Canada. For that reason, browse the wider whiskey brands collection to compare styles.

How to Serve Old Rip Van Winkle 25

Old Rip Van Winkle 25 asks for nothing complicated at the pour. Keep the cork sealed tight between pours. Meanwhile, store the bottle upright and away from direct sunlight. A few drops of water can open the aroma noticeably. Just as important, a large ice cube slows dilution and keeps the pour cold. In practice, Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year makes a natural next bottle.

In turn, Old Rip Van Winkle 25 is a straightforward yes for gifting or for your own shelf. Order today and we will get it on its way quickly.
