Pros

  • The 1ear-old Van Winkle Special Reserve is praised for being smooth, mellow, and having a pleasant flavor.
  • It’s considered worth the price at $92 per shot by some reviewers.
  • The review suggests that at 12 years, Van Winkle bourbons maintain a high quality that justifies the cost.

Cons

  • Finding a reasonably priced 10 to 1ear-old Pappy Van Winkle is described as frustrating and difficult.
  • The 1ear-old Old Rip Van Winkle has a harsh, moonshine-like smell.
  • The 1ear-old Van Winkle has a very strong, burning bite when drunk neat, which might not appeal to casual bourbon drinkers.
  • Some reviewers prefer not to rely on ice to enjoy their bourbon, indicating the Old Rip Van Winkle's less smooth profile when neat.

Bottom Line

The 12-year-old Van Winkle Special Reserve offers a smooth, enjoyable bourbon experience and is worth the extra cost, whereas the 10-year-old can be harsher and harder to find at a fair price. For a more accessible alternative, consider bourbons like Jefferson's Ocean 15 or 17.
