Van Winkle, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Special Reserve Lot B 12YO

The Van Winkle family history in the whiskey industry dates back to 1893, and today their renowned expressions are produced at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. This expression is made from a wheated mash bill, which relies on wheat rather than rye as the secondary grain to create a softer, more approachable spirit. In the glass, it shows consistent notes of honeyed caramel, vanilla cream, and toasted oak, offering a full-bodied texture with a balanced, lingering finish. While production is allocated, each release maintains the specific 90.4 proof target established by the family to ensure a reliable and mature profile year after year. This bourbon is ready to enjoy tonight, providing a level of depth and refinement that rewards those who prefer a smooth, well-integrated pour.
