About this bottle
Proof 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 of 90.4 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. “Well crafted…elegant, stately…balanced beautifully”-Paul Pacult’s Spirit Journal.
Rated 98 by the Beverage Tasting Institute.

Bourbon is a distinctly American whiskey, traditionally made primarily from corn (at least 51%) and aged in new charred oak barrels. Known for its rich, sweet, and full-bodied flavour, it often carries notes of caramel, vanilla, and spice. By law, bourbon must be produced in the United States, though it is most famously associated with Kentucky, its historic heartland.
