Pappy Van Winkle Special Reserve Lot B 12 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Pappy Van Winkle Special

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 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.

I thought we could try more Bourbons and American whiskeys today. While keeping in mind that I remain a humble apprentice. We’ll add a few old bottlings for once not that I’ve never seen any before. But I had always thought tasting some while I was totally inexperience would have meant throwing pearls before swine. Not sure that changed much, having said that… We’ll have the oldies first, since their strengths are lower. They’re not bourbons bearing the name “Pappy Van Winkle”, they’re bourbons mad by Pappy Van Winkle Special Reserve.

From Pappy Van Winkle’s private stock, I believe this is still from Stitzel-Weller. There are many stories, some a little hard to follow from here, but there, it is said that this would be ‘the stuff’. Colour: light amber.

Nose: of course. Preserved peaches and apricots, ganaches and homemade vanilla fudge, butterscotch, caramels, heather honey, a cup of rooibos tea with a drop of milk, a drop of chicken bouillon, a drop of miso, a drop of goulash sauce… This is the kind of complexity that I’ve not found very often in bourbons – now of course, if you mention Old Fitzgerald.

Mouth: holy Suzy! This talks, starts with easy stories (some chitchat around fudges and toffees), goes on with cigars, chocolate and coffee, and would then bombard you with salty and honeyed sauces and coverings, some of Asian heritage. You would almost believe this was distille in pot stills (*).

Finish: long, perfect, complex, with these touches of rye (rye bread, spicy violets, lavender sweets) and just a feeling of some very, very dry and rather meaty old oloroso. I know, how bizarre. Blood oranges in the aftertaste, orange sweets, Szechuan peppers… Comments: not surprised, but extremely impressed. Perfect bottle aging too
