The Van Winkle bourbons pay homage to Julian \"Pappy\" Van Winkle, who built a reputation in the bourbon industry that was second to none; since 2002 they have been produced at Buffalo Trace using the family's wheated recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis bourbon is best enjoyed neat — ice or water dilutes its character.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luscious, complex toffee.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round, supple entry leading to a dry, expansive, medium body — caramel, nuts, and brown spices.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lengthy and enveloping; rich and deep.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Trace, Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90.4 (45.2% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brilliant amber-orange\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is \"Lot B\"?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year, a wheated bourbon balancing 12 years of age with a medium 90.4 proof.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWho produces it?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Buffalo Trace Distillery, using the Van Winkle family's wheated recipe.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow should it be served?\u003c\/strong\u003e Neat — ice or water dilutes its character.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is Lot B?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year, a wheated bourbon balancing 12 years of age with a medium 90.4 proof.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Who produces it?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The Buffalo Trace Distillery, using the Van Winkle family's wheated recipe.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How should it be served?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Neat — ice or water dilutes its character.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Pappy Van Winkle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42900551794759,"sku":"089319123730","price":899.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/van-winkle-special-reserve12yo-compressed_ef364e68-801e-4762-8d07-2b287e4654a7.png?v=1782426143","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/van-winkle-special-reserve-12-years-old","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
