Pappy Van Winkle 12 Year Bourbon
Notes of Caramel
The Unicorn of Bourbon
Taste: Indulge in the extraordinary Van Winkle Special Reserve, a bourbon that stands out for its remarkable balance between age and proof. Aged to perfection for 12 years and bottled at a medium proof, this bourbon is crafted at the esteemed Buffalo Trace Distillery. Made from Mash Bill #2, which it shares with other celebrated blends like Blanton’s, William Larue, and Elmer T. Lee’s, this bourbon offers a rich and smooth experience. The vibrant toffee notes are complemented by a medium body featuring subtle hints of caramel, nuts, and delicate brown spices, all culminating in a lingering, satisfying finish.
History: Often hailed as the unicorn of bourbon, Van Winkle Special Reserve honors the legacy of Julian P. Van Winkle, Sr., known fondly as “Pappy.” His journey began in 1893 as a whiskey salesman for W.L. Weller & Sons, eventually becoming the President of Stitzel-Weller Distillery. His commitment to crafting exceptional bourbon established a lasting legacy. Though the business was sold in 1972, Julian III revitalized the brand in 1981, maintaining the family’s dedication to quality. The partnership with Buffalo Trace in 2002 ensured that Van Winkle bourbons continue to uphold Pappy’s original recipe, preserving the high standards and availability for future generations.
