Taste
The Old Rip Van Winkle 11 Year Stitzel-Weller offers a classic profile that showcases the elegance of wheated bourbon. The nose opens with inviting aromas of toffee, dried fruit, and well-aged oak. On the palate, rich flavors of vanilla, caramel, and dark chocolate are balanced by gentle baking spice, soft wheat sweetness, and subtle notes of leather. The finish is long, warm, and smooth, leaving behind echoes of oak, spice, and mellow sweetness that capture the essence of Stitzel-Weller’s legendary style.

History
This 11 Year Old Rip Van Winkle bottling originates from the renowned Stitzel-Weller Distillery, one of the most celebrated names in American whiskey history. Produced during a period when wheated bourbon was beginning to distinguish itself from traditional rye-heavy recipes, this release reflects the craftsmanship and innovation championed by the Van Winkle family. Now long discontinued, it has become a cornerstone for collectors, embodying both the heritage of Kentucky bourbon and the legacy of one of its most influential families.
