Old Rip Van Winkle Whiskey

The excellently named Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery produces some equally excellently named bourbons including the outrageously good Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve range.

These whiskeys are extremely hard to find but if you can get your hands on some you will not be disappointed. The distillery’s commitment to excellence is perhaps best summed up by a quote from their website: “We make fine bourbon, at a profit if we can, at a loss if we must, but always fine bourbon”
