Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old Lot B
£749.00
Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old Lot B , is a highly sought-after wheated bourbon from the Van Winkle line, produced at the Buffalo Trace Distillery. The “Lot B” designation has been a part of the series since 1991, distinguishing it from an initial one-time “Lot A” release.
Age: 12 years old.
Mash Bill: A wheated bourbon recipe, meaning wheat is used as the secondary grain instead of rye. This contributes to the whiskey’s softer, smoother character.
ABV: Bottled at 90.4 proof (45.2% ABV), which is a moderate proof point for a bourbon of this age.
Production: Like all Van Winkle bourbons, it is bottled at its natural colour and is non-chill filtered.
Description
Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old Lot BÂ is celebrated for its balance between age and proof, often described as “nectar” by enthusiasts.
Tasting Notes:Â
Nose: The aroma is a beautiful combination of sweet and savoury notes. Expect a rich and buttery caramel, with hints of vanilla, baked apples, and pecans. There can also be notes of peanut butter and dark cocoa.
Palate: The palate is full-bodied and mellow, with a velvety texture. It delivers flavors of caramel, butterscotch, and honey. These sweet notes are balanced by a subtle spice, toasted oak, and hints of dried fruits, such as dried orange peel, and apricot.
Finish: The finish is long and elegant, starting with a pleasant sweetness and a warm tingle, and then drying out with notes of subtle oak tannins and lingering baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.
