Van Winkle Special Reserve Lot 'B' is the 12-year wheated Kentucky straight bourbon at the heart of the Van Winkle family's celebrated lineup. Distilled at Buffalo Trace and patiently aged a full twelve years in deeply charred new American oak, this small-batch release uses soft red winter wheat in place of the usual rye to deliver a rounder, sweeter profile — honey, butterscotch, dark cherry, baking spice and toasted oak — all carried by a gentle 90.4 proof. Hand-bottled, non-chill-filtered and individually numbered, Lot B is the midpoint of the allocated Van Winkle line and a benchmark of mature, wheated Kentucky bourbon.
3 bottles in a case of Van Winkle Special Reserve Lot B 12 Year — $300 for a bottle, $600 if you take the case.

Serving Suggestion
