Buffalo Trace Old Rip Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13 Year Old, 2024, 47.8%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

87 / 100

The balance of subtle rye spice and oak is the part I find most appealing, with dill, vanilla and nutmeg adding detail on the nose. The finish is described as long and warming, keeping the oak and rye spice in view rather than shifting to a different character. It sounds measured and mature, with enough spice to keep the oak from feeling like the whole story.
