Van Winkle Special Reserve 12YO “Lot B”
Country: USA
Region: Kentucky
Type: Bourbon
Bottler: Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery
ABV: 45.2%
Score: 90 Points
This isn’t Pappy, but it’s a good Bourbon! The nose is warm and toasty with notes of nutmeg, muted cinnamon, honey, brown sugar, and vanilla. The taste is spicy with cinnamon and hints of honey, vanilla, mild oak, and brown sugar. The finish is smooth and lingering with soft cinnamon and honey notes. Very nice! (September, 2013)
