Overview

More Info

Van Winkle Special Reserve is the perfect combination of age and proof. This sweet, full-bodied whiskey has been described by some as “nectar.” The 12 years of aging and medium proof seem to be just right in creating a very pleasant drink of whiskey. This fine bourbon can compete with any excellent cognac as an after-dinner drink. The overall impression is rich and deep. See a brilliant, amber-orange color. Smell luscious, complex toffee. Taste a round, supple entry, leading to a dry, expansive, medium body. Enjoy notes of caramel, nuts, and brown spices with a lengthy, enveloping finish. It’s an outrageously smooth and decadent bourbon.
Tasting notes

Nose: Butterscotch on the nose, with soft sweetness and Demerara sugar.

Palate: Soft with gentle spices, charcoal, cinnamon bark, hints of cold coffee and honey.

Finish: Pertains to sweetness, but really the beauty of this is the aromatic savouriness that lies underneath the caramel.

The Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year is the family's 'just right' bourbon, the sweet spot of age and proof. Twelve years yield a sweet, full-bodied wheated whiskey some have called 'nectar,' rich and deep with a brilliant amber-orange pour that rivals fine cognac after dinner. Among the most drinkable Van Winkles made. Allocated on TIPXY.
