Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old 2015
Sitting squarely in the middle of the Van Winkle family lineup, Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Lot B is an all-around outstanding pour. For many, this bottle rests at the ideal intersection of age and strength. Each sip of this bourbon, otherwise known as Pappy 12 Year, delivers waves of decadent toffee, freshly toasted nuts, and soothing brown spices. The long, lingering finish can compete with any excellent cognac, making Van Winkle 12 Year Special Reserve Lot B a perfect after-dinner drink.
“Elegant, stately … balanced beautifully”

Its oak-forward nature combined with a hint of lemon and coffee on the finish gave it an unexpected twist. It’s complex but definitely not for everyone.
Phyllis –
Balanced yet subdued. It’s a great pour, but I expected a little more depth. The toffee and nutmeg notes were nice but not mind-blowing.
Antonio –
I love the wood-heavy scent of this bourbon. It’s got that sauna-like feel with the slight incense, but not too overpowering. The citrus on the palate really makes it shine.
Gilbert –
Lot B was a wonderful surprise. I got hints of walnut and orange, and the alcohol wasn’t as harsh as I feared. It’s rich and delicious, but maybe not worth the secondary market prices.
Franklin T. –
The bottle was fantastic, especially with the slight hints of wood and dark cherry on the finish. I also found the balance of sweetness and oak to be perfect.

For a 12-year bourbon, I expected a bit more complexity. It’s smooth, but I think Weller 12 does a better job at a fraction of the price. Good, but not outstanding.
Helen M. –
Very enjoyable but a little shy on the nose. The caramel and subtle spice on the palate were excellent, though. I’d drink it again if the price wasn’t so steep.
