Elegant aromas of butterscotch and honey intertwine with fresh orchard fruitsβapple and pearβalongside toasted almonds and a whisper of orange zest. The oak presence is measured, offering vanilla bean and light cinnamon without dominating the delicate fruit notes.
Medium-bodied and approachable, delivering sweet corn and caramel with layers of vanilla, baking spices, and candied orange peel. A gentle nuttiness and soft oak tannins provide structure while maintaining the signature Van Winkle smoothness.
Medium length with warm caramel and vanilla fading into subtle oak and a pleasant spice tingle on the palate.
The purist's choice. Full oak, vanilla, and caramel come through at room temperature with no dilution.

On 100+ proof bottles, a few drops settle the alcohol burn and let the grain and spice breathe.
