The 2025 Old Rip Van Winkle 12-Year (Lot B) offers a rich, smooth experience with notes of caramel, vanilla, nuts (pecan/honeyed), brown spices (cinnamon), and oak, balanced by hints of dried fruit (mango, peach), tobacco, and cocoa, all leading to a long, warm, slightly spicy finish, reflecting its wheated bourbon profile. It’s known for being exceptionally balanced, sweet, and drinkable, bridging age and proof perfectly.
