Tasting Notes

Nose:- is intensely fruited but also bears a tantalizing citrus zest note.

Pappy Van Winkle’s Special Reserve12 Year-Old

90-4proof “wheat Recipe” Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Wine Enthusiast rating: 98

Tasting Notes

Van Winkle Special Reserve is the perfect combination of age and proof. This sweet, full-bodied whiskey has been described by some as “NECTAR.” We agree! The 12 years of aging and medium proof of 90.4 seem to be just right in creating a very pleasant drink of whiskey. This fine whiskey can compete with any excellent cognac as an after dinner drink. The overall impression is rich and deep.

Well crafted…elegant, stately…balanced beautifully…

Tasting Notes

This fine whiskey has as pleasant a taste as any whiskey around. The 10 full years of aging combine nicely with its 90-proof. A hint of caramel flavour is enjoyed when one tastes this fine handcrafted bourbon.
