Description
We call this whiskey “a sun-drenched toffee apple caught in caramel quicksand”.

Van Winkle Special Reserve is the perfect combination of age and proof. This sweet, full-bodied 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 bourbon whiskey can compete with any excellent cognac as an after-dinner dram and is only available in Australia in very limited quantities.

Interesting Fact – Why is Pappy 12 called Lot B?
Because Lot A was a super small allocation.
Lot B was much larger and by the time those barrels were depleted, the Van Winkle loving public got so used to this 12 year old being called Lot B that the name stuck so as to not confuse anyone. So, in essence, the Lot B designation is pretty much meaningless, except from a historical standpoint.
