Is this the most famous name in Bourbon???
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.
This is one of the few wheated bourbons on the market, and is produced (but not owned) by Buffalo Trace. Since this is a “Pappy” product, obtaining this at a “reasonable” price is difficult given the insane demand and once-a-year release. As a result, it sells out immediately,
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.
