{"product_id":"1000-old-rip-van-winkle-kentucky-straight-bourbon-handmade-10yo-107-proof","title":"Old Rip Van Winkle, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Handmade 10YO 107 Proof","description":"The Old Rip Van Winkle distillery traces its lineage to Julian \"Pappy\" Van Winkle Sr., who began his career in the late 1800s and eventually co-founded the historic Stitzel-Weller Distillery. Today, this bourbon is made from a wheated mash bill at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, where it undergoes a full decade of maturation in new charred American white oak. In the glass, it presents a rich copper color with grounded notes of caramel, roasted pecans, and dried cherry, offering a full-bodied texture with a long, spicy finish. While this expression is a consistent release, the specific 10-year aging process in Buffalo Trace's metal-clad rickhouses ensures that the 107-proof spirit achieves a deep interaction between the wood and grain. It is a well-balanced bourbon that delivers intense complexity at an approachable proof, making it a reliable choice for those who appreciate a classic, full-flavored pour.","brand":"Chris Lospalluto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67544003477752,"sku":"21623","price":600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/mwcwine.com\/products\/1000-old-rip-van-winkle-kentucky-straight-bourbon-handmade-10yo-107-proof","provider":"Manhattan Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
