| Tasting note: Old Rip Van Winkle 15 year is a great bourbon … It has been a while since I have tasted a bourbon that was so rich in flavors. This deep copper colored whiskey pricks the tongue the way cinnamon does, has notes of vanilla, rock candy sweetness, and hints of nut. While it sounds weird, I can say that this bourbon is chewy. Thirty seconds after swallowing a small amount of it I kept feeling the urge to masticate. I think this is because of the lingering and wonderfully firm caramel finish. This wheat-based bourbon is superb. Get some soon. Score – HHHH3/4 (out of 5). (F.S. Fitzgerald, www.alcoholreview.com, Oct. 2001) |
