About This Bourbon
Lot B from the 2020 release: Van Winkle Special Reserve, a 12-year-old wheated bourbon bottled at 90.4 proof.
At 12 years Lot B shows more depth than the 10 Year without the heavy oak of the older Pappy bottlings.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Sweet cherry and caramel, with toasted nuts and a light dusting of oak spice.
- Palate: Soft and full, with toffee, vanilla, orchard fruit and polished oak.
- Finish: Steady and smooth, closing on caramel and sweet spice.
Serving & Food
Serve neat in a tulip glass, with a drop of water if it feels tight. It works with a Sunday roast of pork with crackling, crème brûlée or roasted chestnuts.
Good to Know
What's the style? Warm and rounded.
Is there rye in it? No. It is corn, wheat and malted barley.
