Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old Lot B

Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old Lot B is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey from the Van Winkle family of bourbon releases. Commonly referred to as “Pappy Van Winkle 12 Year” or “Old Rip Van Winkle 12 Year,” the expression is a wheated bourbon, using wheat instead of rye as the secondary grain in its mash bill.

The 12-year aging period allows the bourbon to develop through extended contact with oak, contributing characteristics commonly associated with caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, baking spices, and dried fruit. Its wheated style is generally associated with a softer and sweeter character compared with rye-forward bourbon recipes.

“Lot B” is the designation used for the 12-year expression, distinguishing it within the Van Winkle range. Individual bottling details can vary by release year, so specific proof and tasting characteristics should be verified against the particular bottle.
