Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey 750ml
Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey
To begin with, A sweet vanilla nose with caramel, pecan and oak wood. Smooth, mellow flavor consisting of robust wheat, cherries and oak. Features a long, smoky wheat finish with hints of fruit, spice and oak tannins.
Said to be the oldest Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year Old l ever bottled (it’s 41) and stemming from the two very last casks of 1980, both having spent all their lives on Islay. I’ve already had a sip of this one and have been rather impressed, pretty unsurprisingly. Colour: light gold. Nose: everything came together. I mean, it’s not Page + Plant + Jones + Bonham, it’s Led Zeppelin, see what I mean? Which, incidentally, makes it a little hard to describe, as not an aroma would even start to wander off. I mean, it’s Port Ellen (bravo, S., that was really helpful.) With water: not a single sign of ‘aging’, this as coherent and bright as it would have been at ten, except that tropical fruits are now popping out, especially maracuja.

Further, This nose is totally extraordinary, tight as a great bone-dry chenin blanc or a verdejo from Rueda in Spain. May I recommend a Belondrade Y Lurton? Mouth (neat): massive, even pungent, ultra-tight and focused, on smoked grasses and bitter citrus, plus rubber, tar and dry oils. Surgically Port Ellen. With water: I know this is neither the place nor the moment, but I like it that they wouldn’t have put these old glories in more or less aesthetically pleasing crystal decanters that only our old fur-wearing aunts would actually find, well, aesthetical. Other than that, I believe this is Bacchus’s own whisky.
Finish: medium, sublimely lively. A little pepper in the aftertaste , but no proper oak spices in sight. Comments: I cannot not think of a great white wine when trying this Port Ellen. Wine freaks ahoy; after all, a very recent 75cl bottle of Romanée Conti would be seriously more expensive. In any case, one of the fruitiest and grandest Port Ellens I’ve ever tried.
