Van Winkle Special Reserve is the perfect combination of age and proof. This sweet, full bodied, wheated bourbon-whiskey has been described by some as “Nectar” and we couldn’t agree more! The 12 years of aging and medium proof of 90.4 is the perfect storm for creating a work of art that is pure Van Winkle.
This fine Kentucky Straight Bourbon-Whiskey can compete with any excellent cognac as an after-dinner drink paired with your favourite cigar!
NOSE. Lots of sweet vanilla and toffee with a touch of molasses and spice
PALATE. Cinnamon and honey dominate followed by spice, a dab of oak and dark fruit.
FINISH. Medium and warm – Like a sun-drenched toffee apple caught in caramel quicksand.
