Old Rip Van Winkle 23 Years Old 1986 Family Selection Decanter 2009 Release

Description

The Old Rip Van Winkle 23 Years Old 1986 Family Selection Decanter is one of the most legendary and sought-after bourbon releases ever produced. Distilled in 1986 and bottled in 2009 for the exclusive Family Selection, this extraordinary 23-year-old bourbon represents the pinnacle of American whiskey craftsmanship. For the first time, the 23-year-old expression was released at a bold 114 proof (57% ABV) instead of the standard 95.6 proof. Limited to just 1,200 complete sets worldwide, each bourbon was presented in an individually hand-engraved and numbered crystal decanter, housed in a solid wooden presentation case with leather lining, accompanied by two Glencairn glasses and a signed certificate of authenticity by Julian P. Van Winkle III. On the nose and palate, it delivers remarkable depth with notes of dark caramel, aged oak, vanilla, leather and dried fruits, unfolding into a powerful, richly spiced finish of exceptional length. A true icon among collectible bourbons, revered by connoisseurs, collectors and investors alike.
